Opening: $600
Unsold
Ateret Zekenim, polemic work on providence and prophecy, by R. Yitzchak Abarbanel. Sabbioneta: Tobias Foa, 1556.
An early stamp on the verso of the title page, with an emblem of an eagle in the center: "Shlomo Friedman". This is presumably the stamp of Rebbe Shlomo of Sadigura, son of R. Avraham Yaakov Friedman (the first) of Sadigura (Encyclopedia L'Chassidut, III, p. 713). This stamp is characteristic of the Sadigura-Ruzhin dynasty, and is similar to the stamps of his brothers, Rebbe Yisrael Friedman of Sadigura and Rebbe Yitzchak Friedman of Boyan, their brother-in-law Rebbe Nachum Dovber Friedman and their cousin Rebbe Avraham Matityahu Friedman of Shtefanesht.
