This collection of Selichoth catered particularly to the Community of Colmar. It bears the encomium (haskamah) of the distinguished Rabbi of Karlsruhe, Yedidyah (Tiah) Weil (1721-1805), son of R. Nethanel Weil, author of “Korban Nethanel,” an extremely popular commentary on Rabbenu Asher. See JE, Vol. XII, p. 493
