- Hans Peter Kraus (October 12, 1907 – November 1, 1988), also known as H. P. Kraus or HPK, was an Austrian-born book dealer described as “without doubt the most successful and dominant rare book dealer in the world in the second half of the 20th century” and in a league with other rare book dealers such as Bernard Quaritch, Guillaume de Bure and A.S.W. Rosenbach. Kraus specialized in medieval illuminated manuscripts, incunables (books printed before 1501), and rare books of the 16th and 17th centuries, but would purchase and sell almost any book that came his way that was rare, valuable and important. He prided himself in being “the only bookseller in history... to have owned a Gutenberg Bible and the Psalters of 1457 and 1459 simultaneously,” stressing that “‘own’ here is the correct word, as they were bought not for a client's account but for stock. ”
- Hans Peter Kraus. Bibliófilo y comerciante estadounidense superviviente del holocausto nazi especializado en libros y obras raras. Fue el segundo propietario del Manuscrito Voynich tras comprarlo a los herederos de Voynich por 24.500 dólares: inmediatamente lo revaloró en nada menos que 100.000 dólares de la época. Después de intentar sacarlo a la venta, sin éxito, por la suma de 160.000 dólares —precio excesivo para un documento de sus características— en 1969 lo donó a la Librería Beinecke de libros raros y manuscritos, en donde continúa en la actualidad (está catalogado como Manuscrito nº 408, MS408).
- Hans Peter Kraus, född 12 oktober 1907, död 1 november 1988, även känd som H. P. Kraus eller HPK, var en österrikisk bokhandlare som beskrivits som "utan tvekan den mest framgångsrike och ledande handlaren av ovanliga böcker i världen under den andra halvan av 1900-talet". Kraus specialiserade sig på medeltida illuminationshandskrifter och inkunabelböcker (böcker som publicerats före 1501, samt ovanliga böcker från 1500- och 1600-talet, men handlade med i stort sett alla böcker som kom i hans väg som var ovanliga, värdefulla och viktiga. Han var stolt över att ha varit den enda bokhandlaren i historien som ägt både Gutenbergs bibel och Psalterium från 1457 och 1459 samtidigt. Han ägde verkligen böckerna själv då han inte köpt dem för en kunds räkning utan för att hålla dem i lager.
