https://data.cerl.org/mei/02121701 generalNotes: Created by Rahel Fronda, Alexander Gordin, Marco Bertagna. physicalDescriptionNote: There are marginal notes (mostly relating to the masorah) by at least three different hands; one of them writes in fifteenth or sixteenth century Ashkenazi square script. On the recto of the first blank leaf there are also two numbers, likely a price, not easy to apply to any provenance (40,0 towards the top margin; and 16.10, in red, towards the bottom); also a few capitalised letters in Latin alphabet in the centre of the leaf: SOU DE.. The coat of arms illuminated at the beginning of the text looks as part of the original illumination; however we cannot be certain about it, it might have been added later; indeed, the same coat of arms has been painted at the end of the book much later. source: Bod-inc Heb 23 bindingNote: The book comes with a wooden box, decorated with the Holkham Hall emblem (ostrich standing on earl's hat with a horse-shoe in his beak) and the name Thomas William Coke. On paste-down of the upper board there is a pasted note written in 19th century English hand referring to the bibliographic details of the book. note: "The Bible was probably purchased in 1719, together with an unspecified manuscript, and a manuscript of Leonardo da Vinci, from a Mr. Hay, possibly the Scottish priest and antiquary Richard Augustine Hay (1661-1736?), by Thomas Coke (1697-1759), 1st Earl of Leicester. The Bodleian acquired it from Holkham Hall, Norfolk in 1953" (see Bod-inc, Heb 23). This information is probably taken from a written note (loose leaf) also bearing the Holkham Hall stamp, where a description of the coat of arms is provided; it also has a reference to a 'codex 735 for date 21st May 1719', as the date of the purchase and the mention of the price for the book and a MS by Leonardo for £26.5.- Owner
