Papier manquant au dos. Wolf Heidenheim (1757-1832) is among the most recognizable Jewish publishers and exegetes of the 19th century. In 1798 he received a license to establish a German and Hebrew press in partnership with Baruch Baschwitz. In 1800 Heidenheim began the publication of his most famous work, the nine-volume edition of the mahzor, Sefer Kerovot (Roedelheim, 1800-02) , which went through numerous printings. The work included the first pure German translation (in Hebrew characters) of the liturgical poems for the festivals, a Hebrew commentary and a literary historical introduction. Heidenheim devoted great care to typographical setup as well as to the restoration of the correct text of the prayer.
