summary

In his introduction, the author (c.1774-c.1842), a most colorful character and native of Morocco, recounts that he studied in Sale under Rabbi Judah Anhori. However due to unstable conditions in his native land, Edrehi escaped to London, then removed himself to Amsterdam, before resettling in Jerusalem - after undergoing a most harrowing journey that lasted four years. See EJ, Vol. VI, cols. 380-81.
