The scholar Rabbi Wolf Heidenheim (1757-1832) was known for his precision in editing and publishing chumashim, machzorim and siddurim. He also authored a commentary on piyyutim.
The Chasam Sofer wrote that without him, “the piyyutim would have already been forgotten” (Teshuvos Chasam Sofer Ch. 48). In one of his approbations he mentions, “the Chumashim of the great scholar, our master Rabbi Wolf Heidenheim” (Teshuvos Chasam Sofer, Volume of Approbations, Ch. 38).
Each volume contains an inscription and autograph of the renowned elder of Karlsruhe, Rabbi Kaufman Wormser who was the father-in-law of Rabbi Yaakov Ettlinger author of the Aruch LaNer.
