summary

Nachum Dov-Ber Friedman, Grand Rabbi of Sadigura, was one of the greatest bibliophiles amongst Chassidic Rabbis. His library was formed from three sources: books inherited from his forbearers, books purchased from personal funds and books given as a gift from his followers. He utlized different book-stamps indicating the source e.g. Yerushath Avothai (inherited), Minchath Shai (a gift) and Kinyan Kaspi (purchased from my own funds)

ff. 18, 6, 17-56. Lacking final ff. 6 of indices (as in most copies). Slight staining, closely shaved. Unbound. 8vo
