Bet grunge irritated old bible maker (9)

I believe the answer is:

gutenberg

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'old bible maker' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'bet grunge irritated' is the wordplay.
'irritated' indicates anagramming the letters (letters disturbed or irritated).
'bet'+'grunge'='betgrunge'
'betgrunge' is an anagram of 'GUTENBERG'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gutenberg that I've seen before include "Publisher" , "Pioneer printer" , "German printer of a 15th century Bible" , "German printing pioneer" , "He invented movable-type printing" .)
