The author, who served as Dayan and Maggid of Yanovitz, was the brother of the Alter Rebbe, R. Shneur Zaman of Liadi. Not only was he a great Talmudic scholar as evident from this work, but he recorded all the Chassidic discourses of his brother that were subsequently published in Torah Ohr (Kopust, 1836). Thanks to his diligence, these Ma’amarim of the Alter Rebbe were thus preserved. In the present work he frequently cites and explains his brother’s comments (e.g. ff. 18b, 24a, 27b, 28a, etc.) See Heilman, Beith Rebbe, pp. 109-10.
