In his introduction, David Pardo explains that he found the text of the work among the manuscripts of his deceased father. Joseph Pardo served as Hazzan of the Spanish and Portuguese Congregation, London, a post to which his son succeeded him. According to A. Hyamson: “The two Pardos were the most scholarly occupants of the office until the time of David de Sola.“ (See: The Sephardim of England (1951) pp. 78-9)
