The author, R. David Shlomo Eybeschutz (1755-1814; Encyclopedia L'Chassidut, I, pp. 501-503), a Chassidic leader and prominent Halachic authority. He served as rabbi of Chorostkov and Soroca, and in 1809, he immigrated to Eretz Israel and settled in Safed. His relative R. Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev praises him in his approbation as "sharp and well-versed in Torah realms like an early Torah sage, and all his actions are for the sake of Heaven". His books were accepted as classic Halachic and Chassidic works.
