In the introduction to the present work, Koidonover recounts the hardships he suffered following the Swedish invasion of Poland: His library was plundered and he was forced to flee to Lublin - but not before two of his daughters were murdered. Birkath HaZevach was edited and published by the author’s son-in-law R. Nachum Katz, brother of R. Shabtai Cohen (Sha”ch). R. Aaron Samuel Koidonover and the Sha”ch served together as judges on the Beth Din of R. Moses Lima in Vilna.
