The author was a Safed sage. He traveled as an emissary to Turkey, where he printed the book before us. On his way he traveled via Rhodes and the community there appointed him rabbi and Av Beit Din. In the end he elected to remain there, and he led the rabbinate at a high standard. He was a brother-in-law of Rabbi Chizkiyah da Silva, author of Pri Chadash.
