Rebbi Yisroel Nachman of Drohovitz was born in Stanislav, Galicia. He was named for the Baal Shem Tov, as he writes in this work on leaf 19b (of the second pagination). “Words of the holy, renowned Rabbi Yisroel Baal Shem Tov of Mezibuz, that my name is from him.” His father was a disciple of the Besh"t.
On his way to Eretz Yisroel, he met with the Chida in Italy and greatly admired him. The Chida learned a lot about the Besh"t and the Chassidic movement from him. He consulted with the Chida regarding the printing of this book (refer to the introduction) and the Chida mentions him in his Chomat Anach on Shir Hashirim: "I heard from the great light…Yisroel Nachman…in the name of Harav Hachassid, his father… Yosef z”l, disciple of the Rav Hachassid Yisroel Besh”t z”l.”
In this section, the author quotes ideas from the Besh”t, such as on leaves 19b; 22a; 36b, and quotes Rabbi Baruch of Kossov (28a;42b).
