Editing The Siddur (section)

== History ==
The first known Siddur is attributed to Rav Natronai Gaon, who sent it to the Alisano community in Spain. This was followed by the Siddur of Rav Amram Gaon of Sura, written for the Barcelona community in Spain. Copies were sent to Jewish communities throughout the diaspora, and it became the foundation for the development of prayer texts in Jewish communities.

Other notable Siddurim include those of Rav Saadia Gaon, the Rambam's Siddur, and Machzor Vitry, written by Rashi's student Rabbi Shimah of Vitry, which was the first Siddur in the French Jewish tradition.

As prayers and customs accepted into the prayer order increased, Siddurim began to appear containing prayers for Shabbat and weekdays, while prayers for the Three Festivals (Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot) and the High Holidays (Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur) appeared separately and are called Machzor.
