Judah ben Samuel Uziel (died c. 1600) was a scion of the Uziel Family, a prominent rabbinical dynasty of Fez, Morocco, whose country of origin was Spain. This workk was brought to press by Elazar ben Shabthai Belged, a native of Trikala, Greece who paid to have it transcribed in Salonika. His interesting introduction contains details of an incident whereby he saved the life of another Jew, yet was arrested and deported.
The previous owner R. Gur Aryeh HaLevy (Finzi) was a Rabbi in Mantua, and author of a commentary on the Shulchan Aruch published in Mantua 1721-23.
