Set of Machzorim, Ashkenazi Rites - Rödelheim, 1800-1805 - First Edition
Set of machzorim, Ashkenazi rites, published by R. Wolf son of R. Shimshon of Heidenheim. Rödelheim, 1800-1805. Nine volumes, all first editions. Two title pages per volume. Attractive set with original leather bindings.
The printing of the first edition of these machzorim, by R. Ze'ev Wolf Heidenheim, began in 1800 and ended in 1805 with the printing of the machzor for Shavu'ot (in which he writes: "The work on this part has been completed together with the Kerovot for all nine parts). During these years, the first volumes were reprinted several times. These machzorim merited enthused approbations by leading Torah figures including the Ba'al Hafla'ah. The Chatam Sofer too, wrote an approbation praising these machzorim. Often, in his sermons and in his compositions, the Chatam Sofer cites the commentaries and notations of "the accomplished sage R. Wolf Heidenheim". The Admor HaZaken, R. Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the Ba'al HaTanya, endorsed the Heidenheim siddur and upon printing his own siddur, he "instructed to proofread it from the siddur of the well-known sage R. Wolf Heidenheim printed in Rödelheim, because it is accurate [and] proofread very well". His machzorim made a great contribution to the research and preservation of the piyyutim of Ashkenazi communities, and numerous editions were reprinted up until the Holocaust.
Rabbi Ze'ev Wolf Heidenheim - the Rava (1757-1832) - was an exegete, grammarian and renowned mesorah researcher. In his printing press in Rödelheim, he printed his grammatical works, his Chumashim accurately adhering to the mesorah, and his celebrated machzorim "Sefer Kerovot."
