Gabriel Wells

Gabriel Wells (January 24, 1861 – November 6, 1946) was a bookseller, historian and author. He was one of the most important antiquarian booksellers in America and Britain in the first half of the twentieth century. He was president of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association in 1930.
His most significant cultural contribution today is probably breaking up an original copy of the Gutenberg Bible into individual leaves, marketed and sold as “Noble Fragments”.
