The sefer was printed anonymously. It also does not state the place nor year of print. It includes dozens of chapters, with each chapter called a zikaron . Each zikaron is divided into prakim . It is primarily occupied with rebuke and encouragement to fulfill mitzvahs that are trod upon by the masses. Some of the sefer discusses stam yeinam , which was treated lightly by many in Italy at the time.
The author wrote something of an introduction on the back of the title page with a prayer that no one be misled by him. The sefer was printed without approbations. This sefer was cited in many halachic works despite not knowing the author’s identity for many generations.
