Sir Thomas Coke, Earl of Leicester, travelled extensively on the Continent from 1712 to 1718 and purchased over 600 manuscripts; these came largely from the collection of Giuseppe Valletta at Naples and from the library of San Giovanni in Verdara at Padua. The Greek manuscripts of the Giustiniani library at Venice were obtained en bloc in 1721. The library still remains at Holkham and was largely added to by Thomas William Coke, his grand nephew. De Ricci, pp. 42-43.
