The author who passed away at the young age of thirty was the son of the “Shinaver Rav,” R. Yechezkel Shraga Halberstam. Since the author died childless, his father published this work as a remembrance. Among the author’s correspondents was his grandfather R. Chaim Halberstam of Sanz (see index f. 48b no. 23). Apparently, the Shinaver Rav did not distribute this work to the general public but was only given to those especially favored. For more information on the recipient here (a brother-in-law of R. Pinchas Tzimetbaum (author of Responsa Divrei Pinchas)), see M. Wunder, Meorei Galitzia, Vol. II, p. 966.
