Abraham Laniado, a native of Aleppo, Syria, studied in his youth in the yeshiva of Joseph Karo in Safed. Upon his return to Aleppo, he married the daughter of his uncle, Samuel Laniado, author of the Keli Yakar, a commentary on the Prophets. Laniado traveled to Venice to oversee the publication of his father in-law’s works, as well as the present work, his own collection of sermons.
