This copy belonged to R. Nachum Dov Ber of Sadigura. Two of his stamps appear on the title page: "Nachum Dov Ber Friedman" and "Kinyan Kaspi".
R. Nachum Dov Ber Friedman of Sadigura (1843/1844-1883), grandson of Rebbe Yisrael of Ruzhin. He was the son of Rebbe Shalom Yosef and son-in-law of his uncle Rebbe Avraham Yaakov of Sadigura. R. Nachum Dov Ber was known as a prominent collector of ancient books and manuscripts (see: David Assaf, Derech HaMalchut, p. 454, note 34). R. Yehuda Leibush Landau Rabbi of Sadigura describes him and his notable library in the preface to his book Yad Yehuda on Yoreh De'ah: "When I came to Sadigura, I found what I love in the home of my relative, of distinguished lineage, R. Nachum Dov, who owns a collection of valuable books from early authors, which is unrivaled in glory and splendor". R. Nachum Dov used several types of stamps in his library. Books inherited from his father were stamped "Nachalat Avotai" (family inheritance), books he purchased were stamped "Kinyan Kaspi" (my acquisition), and books he received as a gift were stamped "Minchat Shai" (a gift).

Rebbe Yisrael Friedman of Husiatyn, elder rebbe of the Ruzhin dynasty, was the last grandson of Rebbe Yisrael of Ruzhin. Born in 1858 to Rebbe Mordechai Feivish of Husiatyn, he succeeded his father in 1894 in Husiatyn. In 1914 he moved to Vienna, and in 1937, he immigrated to Eretz Israel, settling in Tel Aviv. It is well known that during the Holocaust, when there was concern that the Nazi army, under the command of Rommel, would reach Eretz Israel and annihilate its inhabitants, R. Yisrael prayed at the gravesite of the Or HaChaim in presence of leading kabbalists, and then declared that the enemy would not rule over Eretz Israel. He passed away in Tel Aviv on Chanukah 1948 and was buried in Tiberias.

Stamp of the Tiferet Shlomo on the title page (in Hebrew and Polish): "Shlomo HaKohen, Rabbi of Radomsk".

The first Rebbe of Radomsk – R. Shlomo HaKohen Rabinowitz, author of Tiferet Shlomo (1803-1866), a prominent Polish rebbe in his times. An outstanding Torah scholar and holy man, he was reputed as a wonder-worker who effected salvations. His father was a disciple of the Chozeh of Lublin and the Yehudi HaKadosh, and he himself had the merit of joining his father on his visits to their courts, in his childhood. R. Shlomo later became a close disciple of the disciples of the Chozeh and of the Yehudi HaKadosh, R. Meir of Apta author of Or LaShamayim, R. Ber of Radoshitz and R. Bunim of Peshischa. In 1834, he was appointed rabbi of Radomsk, and hundreds of Chassidim began thronging to his Torah discourses. At first, he tried to turn them away, yet with time, he bowed to the burden of communal needs and became a prominent Chassidic leader in his times. Before R. Moshe of Lelov left for Eretz Israel, he instructed his Chassidim in Poland to follow the Radomsk Rebbe, who was especially revered for his love of the Jewish People, and was reputed for his sagacity and efforts on behalf of the community and individuals. He was the teacher of the Chassid of Hamburg, R. Aharon Marcus (author of HaChassidut), who emigrated from Germany to Poland to cling to the Radomsk Rebbe and to Chassidut (R. Aharon Marcus describes the Rebbe in his book: "People gravitated to this amazing tzaddik in spite of his outwardly strict and uncompromising demeanor… One can imagine that this must have been the appearance of the Kohen Gadol…").
Rebbe Avraham Yissachar Ber HaKohen Rabinowitz (1843-1892), youngest son of the Tiferet Shlomo and his successor as rebbe. He was renowned for his holiness, and for his passionate love for his fellow Jew. The Minchat Elazar of Munkacs once met him, several weeks before his passing, and this one meeting was enough for him to appreciate the extent of Rebbe Avraham Yissachar's righteousness and holiness. At the conclusion of the week of mourning, the Minchat Elazar delivered a remarkable eulogy, in which he extolled the rebbe's virtues. The eulogy was published in Zichron Tzaddikim (Munkacs, 1905).
His Torah teachings were printed in Chesed LeAvraham, two parts, on the Torah, Neviim and Ketuvim, and the festivals (Piotrkow, 1893-1897).

Inscription written by his son on the title page: "Inherited from my father, Yitzchak Mordechai".
R. Tzvi Meir HaKohen Rabinowitz (1840-1902), second son of the Tiferet Shlomo of Radomsk and his successor as rabbi of Radomsk. A diligent Torah scholar, he was very well versed both in revealed and hidden realms of the Torah. His father once remarked about him in his youth: "My son Hirshele is a bookcase". He studied the writings of the Arizal every day before sunrise, with exceptional enthusiasm. Reputedly, "his associates saw wondrous incidents related to him, which cannot all be recorded, and he was a true fulfilment of the saying 'A Tzaddik decrees and G-d fulfills'… and we saw a wondrous occurrence at the time of his passing… the sun darkened and a storm raged, uprooting many trees" (Ohel Shlomo).
