Rabbi of Frankfurt am Main. One of the disciples of the Maggid of Mezeritch, brother of Rabbi Shmuel Shmelke of Nikolsburg and the primary teacher of Rabbi Moshe Sofer – the Chatam Sofer.

This book was printed by Rabbi Chanina Lipa in Sudylkow over a decade before he established his printing press in Zhitomir. Pretty and decorated title page, part of it in red ink. 1833. 5 (faulty pagination), 169 leaves. 37 cm.
