R. Shmuel Aharon Margaliot (d. Iyar 1834) of Berditchev, son of R. Meir Margaliot, Rabbi of Ostroh (ca. 1708-1790, the Meir Netivim, a leading early disciple of the Baal Shem Tov). He was known as "the tailors' rabbi".
The signature "Meir Margaliot" appears to be that of his son or grandson, rather than his father, the Meir Netivim, who had passed away some eight years before the present book was printed.
