Magnificent Set (Rodelheim) Heidenheim Machzorim. Printed by Schlesinger 1922 Vienna - Gilded Covers - 1922 Vienna  Beautiful HARDCOVER Wolf (Benjamin) ben Samson Heidenheim (1757 – February 23, 1832) was a German exegete and grammarian born at Heidenheim am Hahnenkamm. At an early age Heidenheim was sent to Fürth, where he studied Talmud under Joseph Steinhardt, author of Zikron Yosef, and, from 1777, under Hirsch Janow. Besides Talmudic literature, Heidenheim devoted himself to the study of Hebrew grammar, and particularly of the Masorah. In 1782 he left Fürth, probably on account of Janow's opposition to Mendelssohn's translation of the Pentateuch, of which Heidenheim was an admirer. He went to Frankfurt am Main, where he made the acquaintance of the most prominent scholars, among them Wolf Breidenbach [de] and Solomon Dubno. There began his literary activity, which lasted fifty years. He died at Rödelheim.
