Bisliches was born in Brody at the end of the eighteenth century. He was married at the age of thirteen, ultimately divorced his wife, and, after the death of his children, went to Paris. There he was very prosperous in business, devoting his leisure to the study and publication of Hebrew manuscripts in the Paris Library. Later he went to Holland and Italy, where he collected a number of Hebrew manuscripts. Returning to his birthplace, he prepared for publication a number of works with the aid of his brother Ephraim.
