Rabbi Meir Santa [Gross] (1765-1832) was one of the geniuses of his generation. After the death of his father-in-law Rabbi Chaim Toreno, in circa 1810, he replaced him as the rabbi of Nagykanizsa and served also as the head of the yeshiva there. The Chatam Sofer sent him a number of responsa, mentioned him in a number of responsa and called him a wonder worker and righteous person (see more about him: Ishim Be'Teshuvot Chatam Sofer, pp. 250).
On the Forsazt leaf, a signature and stamp of Rabbi Shalom Eisen, one of the most prominent Poskim of Jerusalem during the 1840's.
There are additional signatures and inscriptions.
Throughout the book, five scholarly glosses two of them in script similar to that of Rabbi Meir Santa.
