N. Wolf was already living in Lyons in 1493, but his earliest known book is a Roman Breviary of 7 July 1497. He signed 4 books ed. by Badius in Nov. 1498 + in Jan. Feb. + March respectively of the following year, but seems to have printed nothing further until the early months of 1500. Some 10 editions signed by him in this last year of the period are recorded + he continued work until 1515.

N. Wolf, a native of Brunswick appeared as a "fondeur de lettres in Lyon in 1493 + supplied local printers with type before he eventually set up as a printer in 1498.

- In 14th C England a host of popular preachers appeared. Of importance are John Bromyard's Opius trivium + the Summa praedicantium, an enormous compilation that constituted a real mine for preachers in quest of subjects both dogmatic + moral. It enjoyed an extraordinary popullarity towards the end of the Middle Ages. - The English Dominicans, from the end of the 14th through the beginning of the 15th C were most zealous in refuting the errors of Wycliff, so that their works had theological controversy as their special subject. -Before Chaucer, J. Bromyard is the moral satirist of clerical life and , broader in range than Chaucer, he subjects lay as well as classical institiutions to his sharp sting. One must be struck by the modernity of his 14th C complaint that schools of divinity are deserted because everyone wants to make money + so everyone is going to law school. Claudin IV N.
