The Lishkat ha-Sofer is a commentary on the Keset ha-Sofer, a summary of the halakhot relevant to sofrut. Although Lishkat can be distinctly tiresome (overenthusiastic use of acronyms being his main fault), he is occasionally charming, as in his comments in chapter 10, s'if katan 6.
He quotes a rule from the Keset, and then quotes another source against it. The usual procedure at this point is to quote the opposing source's subsequent discussion, to explain how the seeming contradiction is reconciled. Lishkat, endearingly, does not do this, but notes in parenthesis "I didn't understand his explanation."
