The author, began his literary career aged fourteen. He subsequently traveled extensively throughout Europe soliciting aid for his publications especially his work on the Tishbi. The present volume is an interesting account of Koerner’s wanderings, his meetings with various Rabbis, together with vitriolic rebuttals against his detractors. This “anonymously” penned work highlights the author’s eccentricity wherein he states the reader “will gain much joy and bless the author whose name is stated on page 89”
