The author originally lived in Yanowitz and later in Karlin-Pinsk. He corresponded with many of the great Rabbis of his generation including R. Yaakov Meir of Karlin (and Brisk), R. Yoseph Raisin of Slonim, R. Meir Marim of Kobrin, R. Elazar Moshe Horowitz of Pinsk and others. Most of the present volume is written in the hands of various copyists, however the final leaf is in the author’s own hand. Also inserted are five leaves with two original responsa by R. Yaakov Meir of Karlin and one by R. Joseph Raisin of Slonim.
