R. Nachum Duber Friedman of Sadigura (died 1883, Otzar Harabbanim 15912) was the grandson of R. Yisrael of Ruzhin, son of R. Shalom Yosef and son-in-law of R. Avraham Yaakov of Sadigura (Sadhora). R. Nachum Duber possessed a large library and used four alternative stamps for his books. Books inherited from his father were stamped "Nachalat Avotai" (family inheritance); those he purchased were stamped "Kinyan Kaspi" (my acquisition) and those received as gifts were stamped "Minchat Shai" (gift). His library also included a small collection of books given as gifts to his father-in-law by converts who requested a tikun for their souls and which are stamped "Minchat Ger" (gift from a convert).
