Omer Hashich’cha. Livorno, 1748.

Personal copy of the Admorim of Sadigura!

Sefer Mishlei with commentary by Rabbi Avraham Gavishon of the exiled from Spain, along with poems and songs by the author, his family and illustrious Rishonim.

Rabbi Avraham Gavishon was among the first exiled from Spain who wandered to Algeria, and was numbered as one of the great scholars of Tlemcen and a doctor in the royal court of the Algerian monarch.

Among the songs and poems printed at the end of this sefer is a poem by the Ibn Ezra written to Rabbeinu Tam, and Rabbeinu Tam’s honorable response to him; a long poem by the Rivash; and more.

The title page bears the trademark imperial stamp of the
Admor Harav Nachum Dovber Friedman of Sadigura which resembles a lion and alludes to the kingdom of Yehuda in addition to an ownership stamp and a very rare stamp of his only son the Admor Harav Shalom Yosef Friedman of Mogielnica.

The Admor Harav Nachum Dovber (1844-1883) was son of the Admor Harav Shalom Yosef of Ruzhin and son-in-law of his uncle, the Admor Harav Avraham Yaakov of Sadigura. Aside from his outstanding piety, profound knowledge, breadth and depth in Torah, he was famous for his vast library and rare collection of seforim.

His only son, the Admor Harav Shalom Yosef Friedman (1876-1927) was a son-in-law of the Admor Harav Yisrael of Sadigura. Harav Shalom Yosef served as Admor in Mogielnica, and after World War One, settled in Chernowitz and later in Lvov.

Livorno, 1748. First edition. Complete copy. Page size 20 cm. top margins cropped. Last pages stained. Binding from the library of the Admor Harav Nachum Dovber of Sadigura.
