Solomon Hanau

Solomon Zalman ben Judah Loeb ha-Kohen Hanau (later known by the acronym Raza"h or Zalman Hanau or Zalman Henna[1][2] (1687–1746), was a German Jewish expert in Hebrew grammar and critical textual critic of Jewish liturgy and prayer nussach.

[3][4][5][6][7][8] Shlomo (Zalman) ben Yehuda Leib Katz was born in Hanau (also known as Henna[2]), Germany and lived in part in Frankfurt, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Berlin and Hanover.

At the age of 21 he composed his first dikduk work, "Binyan Shlomo".

Recent study suggests that Shneur Zalman of Liadi followed many of Solomon's variations when composing his Chabad Nusach of Jewish prayer (Nusach Ari).

[citation needed] He had a son Simson b. Salomo[9] who worked as a printer in Homburg vor der Höhe until 1730.
