The author was one of the foremost Italian Kabbalists and Halachic authorities of the 13th-century. Later editions of the Piskei Halachoth have been heavily censored, indeed lacking entire chapters. The majority of the censored material pertains to Gentiles and converts. See M. Idel, R. Menahem Recanati, Hamekubal (1998)
