A student of R. Nathan Adler in Frankfurt, Wolf Heidenheim (1757-1832) acquired a reputation as a most diligent and punctilious Masoretic scholar, grammarian and Hebrew printer. Heidenheim writes in the introduction that he intends to publish four editions of the Chumash each with a differing style of exegesis.
