The author (1790-1867) was son-in-law of R. Aryeh Leib Heller, author of Ketzoth HaShulchan. A native of Lemberg, he served as rabbi of Tarnopol and later of Prague. His literary career spawned important works of a critico-historical nature, some of these studies, especially those of the Gaonic period, were truly groundbreaking. The present posthumous essays were published by Rappaport’s son David. The anti-Chassidic essay was written to a colleague who was attracted to Chassidism in his youth in 1815. The critique of Geiger was written in 1866.
