Typical Holkham binding of 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: /INTERPRES/ IN HOSEAM/ ET/ HABAKUK/ MS. SÆC. XV/ in pasted black leather: MS. /HOLKHAM/ Gr. 49.
