This super-commentary to the Mahra”m Schiff is now included in all standard editions of the Talmud, however only the final two leaves of the 17 additional leaves of novellae by R. Mordechai Mardush have been republished. The author was associated with the disciples of the Maggid of Mezhritch and the hascamoth include such luminaries as R. Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev, R. Israel the Maggid of Kozhnitz and R. Abraham Chaim of Zlotchov. The author relates that the merit of the Mahara”m Schiff saved him from a fire which broke out in Poryck in which all his posessions were destroyed save for the manuscript to this work
