Mishpetei HaTe'amim, on rules of grammar, the "meteg" and the "makaf". By Rabbi Wolf Heidenheim. Redelheim, 1808. First edition.
On the title page is a handwritten dedication (6 lines) by the author - Rabbi Ze'ev Wolf Heidenheim - the Rava (1757-1832), well-known exegete, grammarian and Mesorah researcher. In his printing press in Redelheim, he printed his composition on grammar, his Chumashim perfected to the accurate version according to the Mesorah, and his famous machzorim, Sefer Kerovot, in which he printed the correct version of the prayers and which contributed greatly to the study of the traditional version and preservation of the piyyutim of the Ashkenazic communities. The Chatam Sofer wrote approbations for his books and praised them. He quotes the commentaries and glosses of "the great sage Rabbi Wolf Heidenheim" in many places in his sermons and homiletics.
