Although the title page of this work proclaims it to be the responsa of Nahmanides, scholars have discovered that the text, with the exception of five or six of the 288 included responsa, are in fact the work of Solomon ibn Adret, known by the acronym Rashba. The total number of ibn Adret's responsa including this pseudo-Nahmanides collection number in the thousands. The error in attribution may have been due to the copying of manuscripts that included responsa from numerous sources.  An earlier edition of different responsa by ibn Adret was published in Rome ca 1469-1473 and was among the first Hebrew books ever printed.
