The author's earler commentaries to Tractates Baba Kama, Baba Metzia and Baba Bathra were published in Lublin 1624. His Talmud novellaes are appreciated for their original intrerpretations - oftentimes disagreeing with both Rashi and Tosfoth and generally following the school of thought propounded by Maimonides
