Hundreds of glosses in Ashkenazi writing from the time of printing [beginning of the 19th century], which can be integrated into a complete work of halachic rulings on the subjects of shechita and trefot, yayin nesech and nidah, kevod rabo, milah, challah and aveilut. the author is unidentified, but the content of his glosses clearly portrays his vast Torah knowledge and his apparent experience in the capacity of rabbi. Several places contain kabbalist content which point to his familiarity with hidden Torah as well.
