Rebbe Nachum Dov Ber Friedman of Sadigura (d. 1883, Otzar HaRabbanim 15912) was a grandson of R. Yisrael of Ruzhin, son of Rebbe Shalom Yosef and son-in-law of Rebbe Avraham Yaakov of Sadigura. Rebbe Nachum Dov Ber possessed a large library, and used four different types of stamps in his books. Books inherited from his father were stamped "Nachlat Avotai" (family inheritance), books he acquired himself were stamped "Kinyan Kaspi" (my acquisition - as the book we have here), and books received as gifts were stamped "Minchat Shai" (gift). The library also contained a small collection of books stamped "Minchat Ger" - books received by his father-in-law from converts seeking a tikkun for their soul.
