The author was Rosh Beth Din of Lissa and the “mechutan” of R. Akiva Eger, whose daughter Sarah was originally married to the author’s son R. Abraham Moshe, Rabbi of Pila, who died at an early age. Sarah subsequently married the Chatham Sofer, R. Moshe Sofer of Pressburg. In his approbation R. Akiva Eger praises the author stating that his fame as a scholar is widespread and thus his approbation is superfluous.
