Rabbi Wolf Heidenheim (1757-1832) was a commentator, grammarian who studied the mesorah. He printed his works on grammar, Chumashim according to the mesorah and his famed machzorim at his press in Rodehleim. His teacher, the Chatam Sofer, called him "The complete sage" and wrote (Choshen Mishpat, teshuva 89) : "He spent much time proofreading the hymns and translating them to German, if not for him, the hymns would have been forgotten and would no longer be recited in these generations."
