This book was banned in the districts of Lublin and Cracow as the author’s son stated that it was falsely attributed to his father in order to promote sales. He published his father’s actual writings on the Pentateuch and Rashi under the name Imrei Shepher in Cracow and Lublin in 1597. See E. Katzman, Yeshurun, Vol. XIII; P. Krieger, Parshandatha (2005), 366. Regarding the map, cf. Wajntraub, Hebrew Maps of the Holy Land, W.10.
