R. Yissacher Berish (d. 1803), was the son of R. Aryeh Leib of Hanover, the son of the Pnei Yehoshua and was the son-in-law of R. Itzikel of Hamburg. These notes are indicative of his great erudition, citing many Rishonim and Acharonim (e.g. Mishmereth HaBayith, Minchath Yaakov, Minchat hCohen, etc.) Some of his innovative novellae which were published at the end of his grandfather’s magnum opus the Pnei Yehoshua became famous in the scholarly, Torah world and were commented upon by the Noda BeYehudah and others
