The book was edited by Abraham de Cologna, rabbi of Mantua, who earlier served as vice-chairman of the Napoleonic Sanhedrin, and later, after the fall of the Empire, as a member of the Central Consistory. In 1826, Cologna returned to Italy. See Simon Schwarzfuchs, Napoleon, the Jews and the Sanhedrin (1979), pp. 130, 186-7
