The work ends in the middle of chapter 9, since the author passed away while still in the process of writing.

The author, R. Binyamin, Maggid of Zalozitz (d. 1791), was well-versed both in revealed and kabbalistic realms of the Torah. A contemporary of the Baal Shem Tov and early Chassidic masters, he was one of the first disseminators of Chassidic teachings.
