The first work attributed to an author after the close of the Talmudic era. In the nineteenth century, R. Naphtali Zevi Judah Berlin (“NeZIV”), famed dean of the Volozhin Yeshivah, published a commentary to the work, “Ha'amek She'elah.” In the twentieth century, Prof. Samuel Kalman Mirsky of Yeshiva University published a critical edition of the She'iltoth.
