The title page is followed by approbations from R. Phineas Moses of Lvov, R. Joseph Segal, and R. Schneur of Risha; R. David ben Abraham Oppenheim, and R. [Jacob] Abraham ben Raphael. There is an introduction by the Shakh’s grandson, the text of Gevurat Anashim, a summary (Kallalei ha-dinim be-Kizzurei) of the halakhot in Gevurat Anashim, and responsa from his father, all set in two columns in rabbinic type, excepting headers and initial words which are in square letters.
Gevurot Anashim has been reprinted several times, beginning with a Sodilikov edition (1809). It has been the subject of refutations, most notably by R. Hayyim Broda (Torah Or ve-Derekh Hayyim), whose defense of the Shulhan Arukh, entitled Zera Hayyim (Petrokov, 1907), was published by his grandson, Hayyim Heller.
