The author was a pedagogue who followed the advice of the Mahra”l of Prague and the Shela”h ha-Kadosh that children should first be taught the 613 commandments before embarking upon the more challenging study of Talmud. This novel pedagogic methods is described in detail in his Torath Katan, published a year after the present work, expounding for parents how best to educate their children.
