This is the theory I alluded to when I said the title "Hilchot Eretz
Yisrael" may be an invention of the Bochur Hazetzer.  But AFAIK it is
just a theory, and for all that it sounds nice it may be completely
mistaken.  Perhaps there really was a sefer with that title, which
the rishonim quote and reject.

The blogger should have noted that Tosfos quotes this *and rejects it*.
As far as I know, there is no rishon who approved of this sefer,
whatever its title.
