A wonderful example of an 18th century stylized Scottish binding with an elaborate floral border, panels populated with stars, and a center floral panel housing a beautifully articulate tooled floral. Spine is a geometrically structured full panel of diagonals with center features. 

A similar era binding in Scottish "wheel" style was sold at auction for over $3,500.00. This binding perhaps just one step below that in terms of beauty and collectibility, but still absolutely lovely.

The Holy Bible, Containing the Old and New Testaments: Newly Translated Out of the Original Tongues; and with the Former Translations Diligently Compared and Revised. Edinburgh. Alexander Kincaid. 1766.

5 x 7 inches, some minor general rubbing, very nice patina. Blank ffep lacking. Textblock very solid and clean; title with light inner upper stain.
