Prof. Saul Lieberman has identified David Darshan as the author of the Perush Katzar to this edition, citing his name in the commentary to Tractate Nazir. R. David Darshan, born in Cracow c.1527, author of Shir Ha’Ma’aloth Le’David (Cracow, 1571) and Kethav Hithatzluth Le’Darshanim (Lublin, 1574), was one of the most prominent disciples of Moses Isserles (the ReM”A), Solomon Luria (the MaHaRSHa”L), Isaac b. Bezalel, the brother of the MaHaRa”L of Prague, and others. For a full biography and translation of his works, see H. R. Perelmuter, Shir Ha’Ma’aloth Le’David (1984); and S. Lieberman, Ha’yerushalmi Ki’peshuto (1935), introduction. The first edition of the Yerushalmi (Venice, 1523) was sold by Kestenbaum & Company, 28th March 2000, Lot 333
