  Hieronymus Wolf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hieronymus Wolf (1516–1580) was a sixteenth century German historian and humanist, most famous for introducing a system Byzantine historiography that eventually became the standard in works of medieval Greek history.
Born at Ottingen, Germany, as a student of Philipp Melanchthon Hieronymus was educated according to the ideals of the rising humanist movement and studied extensively Greek and Latin works.
Hieronymus continued to work in Augsburg's library, but his life's work would be outside the traditional fields proponed by humanism.

Hieronymus seconded the approval of an advance of $8,883.68 from the General Fund to Ohio Reads in June 2005 and the return to the General Fund in July 2005.
Wolf explained she had requested the funds in June; however they were not received until July, so it was necessary to advance the money.
Hieronymus seconded the following Resolution: The Ohio Department of Education allows school systems to grant high school credit for courses taught in 8th grade as long as the teacher is high school certified and the curriculum taught in the 8th grade is equivalent to the high school curriculum.

Dr. Hieronymus was the miner's physician from 1981 until he died in 1989 and was the attending physician at his death.
Hieronymus diagnosed coal workers' pneumoconiosis and stated that death was due to pneumoconiosis or complications thereof, and opined that the respiratory failure and all other problems were probably related to coal workers' pneumoconiosis.
The Federal Respondent also disagrees with Wolf Creek's belief that a "physician's status as a miner's treating physician is wholly irrelevant." However, the OWCP Director believes that ALJ Hillyard failed to properly and fully evaluate the medical evidence supporting Dr. Hieronymus' opinion, and in error exclusively relied on the doctor's role as treating physician.

 Law and Order in Rubens's Wolf and Fox Hunt by Susan Koslow
The lowliness of the wolf and the fox would seem to disqualify them from featuring in any major composition, particularly in the very painting Rubens was using to promote himself as the latter-day heir of van Orley and Stradanus, the sixteenth-century masters of monumental hunting imagery.
On account of the wolf's baleful traits a wolf hunt was considered exceptionally dangerous for the hunter and for the dogs involved.
Previously, de Clamorgan had said of the wolf that among the wild beasts which reside in the forest and are hunted by man it is the most malicious and causes the greatest harm.

Schroeter's sunspot drawings were a primary source for Wolf's reconstruction of activity cycle number 4 (1785--1798) As Schwabe's discovery of the sunspot cycle gained recognition, the question immediately arose as to whether the cycle could be traced farther in the past on the basis of extant sunspot observations.
In this endeavour the most active researcher was without doubt the Swiss astronomer Rudolf Wolf (1816-1893).
Wolf succeeded in reliably reconstructing the variations in sunspot number as far as the The 1755--1766 cycle, which has has since been known conventionally as "Cycle 1", with all subsequent cycles numbered consecutively thereafter; at this writing (January 2000), we are in the rising phase of cycle 23.

 Byzantine Empire - Crystalinks
The term Byzantine Empire was invented in 1557, about a century after the fall of Constantinople by German historian Hieronymus Wolf, who introduced a system of Byzantine historiography in his work Corpus Historiae Byzantinae in order to distinguish ancient Roman from medieval Greek history without drawing attention to their ancient predecessors.
Henceforth, it was fixed policy in the West to refer to the emperor in Constantinople not by the usual "Imperator Romanorum" (Emperor of the Romans) which was now reserved for the Frankish monarch, but as "Imperator Graecorum" (Emperor of the Greeks) and the land as "Imperium Graecorum", "Graecia", "Terra Graecorum" or even "Imperium Constantinopolitanus".
This served as a precedent for Wolf who was motivated, at least partly, to re-interpret Roman history in different terms.

Bulgaria's wolf population numbers around 1000 - 1200, but wolves in Bulgaria are still threatened - the wolf is included in the list of species subject of hunting.
Additionally, some wolves are killed outside the hunting seasons by people who breed domestic animals, usually due to the very often exaggerated accounts of the damage that wolves cause to wild and domestic animals.
As the wolf is a very mobile creature, we also have to be very flexible.

When the empire’s traditional authority and its church were restored to power fifty-seven years later in 1261, an artistic and cultural flowering occurred that would last for more than a century after the final fall of the empire to the Ottoman Turks in 1453.
In 1557 the German scholar Hieronymus Wolf created the term Byzantium to identify the conquered state, the name by which it is known today.
Byzantium is a variant on Byzantion, the name of the ancient Greek town near whose site Constantinople had been founded.

Although this era came to a dramatic end with the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks in 1453, the exhibition carries on until 1557, when, for the first time ever, the German scholar Hieronymus Wolf applied the term 'Byzantine' to the long-lasting empire.
Wolf, however, by using a variant of Byzantion, the name of the Greek city subsumed by Constantinople, acknowledged and paid tribute to the Greek heritage of the empire.
The exhibition brings together an ambitious number of objects--more than 350, on loan from twenty-five countries, a huge achievement given that more than eighty per cent of these masterpieces have never before been exhibited outside the museums or monasteries in which they are housed.

Byzantine rule over the capital ended in May 1453; the remaining parts of the empire were conquered shortly thereafter.
In 1557, according to the exhibition catalog, the term Byzantium was first used by Hieronymus Wolf (1516-1580), librarian and secretary to the Fugger family in Augsburg, to define a field of study.
(3) And, whereas Wolf initiated Byzantine studies in Germany, particularly through the editing of texts, other sixteenth-century humanists were doing the same in Holland and Italy.

Nine of his letters and 21 speeches are extant, the most important of the latter being his Philippus in which he exhorts Philip of Macedon to unite the Greek states and make war on the Persians.
The text is that of Hieronymus Wolf (1516–80), who corrected the textus receptus from the Fuggerian manuscript, and examined the other printed editions, including the editio princeps (Milan, 1493).
Wolf, a pupil of Melanchthon, secretary and librarian to Johann Jakob Fugger, and later rector of the gymnasium at Augsburg, made his reputation as a scholar of Isocrates, and first published an edition of him at Paris in 1551, following with subsequent corrected editions, of which this is, according to Dibdin, the best.
