Approbations by the Noda BiYehuda, the Haflaa and many other leading rabbis of the generation.
The author, R. Meshulam Feivish HaLevi Horowitz (ca. 1710 – Kislev, between 1785 and 1790) was born in Kremenets (Eastern Galicia), and lived there his entire life teaching Torah. He was known from a young age for his holiness, as R. Eliezer Kalir attests in his approbation, where he also praises him for his exceptional good name and Torah study. The Noda BiYehuda in his approbation uncharacteristically extols his virtues, comparing him to the Torah scholars of early generations.
Ownership inscriptions of R. Baruch Hirsh Teitelmon of Warsaw and signature of "Shalom… Zilber of Kutno".
