Rabbi Eliezer Trillinger was a native of Nicholsburg. His son Joseph writes that his father was passing through the city of Vilna on his way to Eretz Israel when he took ill and died. The book bears the approbation of Rabbi David Oppenheim of Prague, among many others. For more on Matithyahu Strashun and the history of Vilna’s most famed Jewish library, see D. Rabinowitz, The Lost Library: The Legacy of Vilna’s Strashun Library in the Aftermath of the Holocaust (2018).
