This work contributes much to our knowledge of the state of scholarship and way of life of the Jews of France, Bulgaria and especially Germany in the 12th century. A native of Mainz, the author (c. 1090-1170) was an important and well known figure of his age.===See M. J. Heller, The Seventeenth Century Hebrew Book, Vol. I, pp. 256-7.
