Two introductions appear in this booklet, one from the publisher Moses ben Harav Haga'on Zerach Eidlitz; the other from R. Elazar Fleckeles thanking his "mechutan" (relation by marriage) Eidlitz for undertaking the publication. R. Elazar Fleckeles (1754-1826) succeeded R. Ezekiel Landau as Chief Rabbi of Prague. He is most famous for his responsa "Teshuvah me-Ahavah" (Prague, 1809-1821). See EJ, Vol. VI, col. 1340.
