The author's introductions were printed at the beginnings of part I and VI. At the end of the introduction to the Taharot section, he writes: “I will copy the Tosefta… and explain it according to the foundations of the Rambam and name the work Maase Oreg and Maase Pnei Zaken. Afterward, I will explain the Mishna according to our rabbis and based on the books of the Gaon of Vilna… I have arranged the Tosefta according to the order of the Gaon of Vilna…". The author is referring to the book Taharat HaKodesh (Zhovkva, 1804) containing commentary and glosses of the Gaon of Vilna.
