The approbations (including R. Yechezel Landau of Prague) state that the author was blind since birth, yet "his mind is imbued with the light of knowledge." In his introduction, R. Abraham Tzafig thanks his study-partner R. Chaim Raphael Navon who wrote the work as dictated to him by the author. See A. Yaari, Mechkarei Sepher (1958) p.138
