Typical Holkham binding of dark brown leather, with Coke family ostrich crest in gilt in the centre of the upper cover; Date: early nineteenth century. Rebound by John Jones of Liverpool (worked for Holkham 1816–1823). The spine lettered in gilt: COMMENTAR/IN JONAM/ NAHUM ET/ MICHÆAM GR./ MS. SÆC. XV./ ; in pasted black leather: MS. /HOLKHAM/ Gr. 50.
