The author, Rabbi Meir Simcha HaCohen of Dvinsk (1843-1926), an exceptional Torah scholar and tsaddik, one of the most prominent leaders of Eastern European Jewry before the Holocaust. He served 40 years as Rabbi of Dvinsk (Denenburg, Latvia), simultaneously with Rabbi Yosef Ruzhin, the Rogochover (who served as rabbi of the Chassidic sector of the city). During the time he was Rabbi of Dvinsk, he began printing his monumental work the Or Sameach on the Rambam. Three volumes were published in his times and the last volume was printed in Riga by Rabbi Menachem Mendel, Av Beit Din of Riga, who also edited and published Rabbi Meir Simcha's work Meshech Chochma on the Torah. Already during his life, Or Sameach was accepted in the study halls and yeshivot as one of the most important basic books of Torah scholarship and since, it was printed in many editions.
