Joe,
It looks like we spotted the Ullster leaf a few years ago, but today I have added your information that it's in the Henry Davis collection. Thank you for responding!

Binding/Cover
Eric,
If you are tracking these leaves can I interest you in ours, in the Henry Davis collection at the University of Ulster? It contains Ecclesiasticus 38.6 to 39.41.
Regards,
Joe

Dear Mr. Emalfarb, and all,
The bindings of the intact 2 vols. of the Gabriel Wells copy of the Gutenberg Bible were described when sold (Sotheby's 9 Nov. 1920) as "calf gilt, with the arms of Marie Auguste de Sultbach." She (Sulzbach) owned the Bible in the eighteenth century before it went to the Hofbiliothek in Mannheim, then to Munich c. 1800, then to Robert Curzon (Baron Zouche) in 1832, whose heirs sold it in 1920. It went via Sabin to Wells, who broke it up.
A colleague and I have been tracking these leaves, called "Noble Fragments," but we have not learned anything about the location of the former binding.

Can anyone help me with any information on who currently owns the cover or
binding from the Wells Gutenberg or who it was sold to in the 1920's?
Also any photograph help would be great.
Thanks
Brad Emalfarb
