Binding
MSS Holkham Gr. 49-51 were once bound in one volume. See also Barbour, 601: ’50-51 originally one volume’. Barbour missed 49, but implies it as she gives collectively three manuscripts’ numbers and codicological details (ie MS Holkham Gr. 49-51, in the description of MS Holkham Gr. 51). 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: COMMENTARIA IN PROPHETAS GR. MS. SÆC. XV.; in pasted black leather: MS. /HOLKHAM/ Gr. 51.
