From the JewishEncyclopedia.com:

Meïr b. Ẓebi Hirsch Margolioth

Polish rabbi and author; born probably at Horodenka, Galicia; died at an advanced age at Ostrog, Volhynia, April 24, 1790.

He was rabbi of the district of Lemberg for more than forty years (c. 1742-82), at the time when Lemberg had two rabbis, one for the city proper and one for the surrounding district.

In 1782 he seems to have gone to Ostrog, where he remained until his death. Margolioth was a pupil of R. Israel Ba'al Shem Ṭob (BEShT), the reputed founder of Ḥasidism, and was probably the greatest Talmudical authority of the time to confess to such discipleship. He was the author of "Meïr Netibim," responsa and novellæ (Polnoi, 1791), "Sod Yakin u-Bo'az," on the Cabala (ib.), and "Derek ha-Ṭob weha Yashar," on the Shulḥan 'Aruk (Polnoi and Shklov, 1799).

Margolioth left four sons: Joseph Naḥman, rabbi of Polnoi and father of R. Ḥayyim of Ostrog; Bezaleel, rabbi of Zwahil and successor to his father as rabbi of Ostrog; Saul, rabbi successively of Komorn, Zbaraz, and Lublin; and Naphtali Mordecai. Margolioth's daughter married Naphtali Herz ha-Kohen, rabbi of Scharigrod.

Margolioth had also an older brother, Isaac Dob Bär (rabbi of Jazlowicz and the district of Podolia; author of "Be'er Yiẓḥaḳ"), who is mentioned in his works. Isaac Dob Bär was one of the three rabbis (the other two being R. Israel Ba'al Shem and R. Ḥayyim Cohen Rapoport of Lemberg) who represented the Talmudist position in the discussion with the Frankists under the auspices of Bishop Mikulski in 1759.

Margolioth's mother was a sister of R. Aryeh Lebush b. Mordecai Auerbach of Stanislau (d. 1772).
