# George Vaus

George Vaus (died 1508) was a Scottish prelate of the late 15th and early 16th century.

## Career

Possessing a master's degree, he became a parson of Wigtown, and on 9 December 1482, he was provided the bishopric of Galloway. He was consecrated by 9 October 1483, when he appeared before the lords auditors on behalf of his nephew, Patrick Vaus, the future Prior of Whithorn, for whom George was tutor. Patrick was involved in a suit concerning certain lands, against Sir William Stewart of Dalswinton and his wife, Euphame, who was Patrick's grandmother. The suit ended in Patrick's favour. On 13 March 1503/4, George Vaus was one of the bishops in Parliament. In 1504, he became Dean of the Chapel Royal at Stirling, a position which King James IV of Scotland had recently decided to attach permanently to the bishops of Galloway.

## Death and Burial

The date of Bishop Vaus' death is not known precisely, but two circumstances provide a range: (a) he was alive on 25 October 1507, and (b) James IV attended a mass for the soul of the bishop on 30 January 1508. Nor is the site of his burial is unknown, but historian Richard Oram has suggested he may have been interred at Whithorn Priory, where he oversaw extensive renovations, and, indeed, on the left side of the priory's doorway, there is a carved angel bearing the bishop's arms.

## Reputation

Bishop George Vaus has been characterized as "a very worldly man who fits easily into the rather distorted stereotype of the late medieval, pre-Reformation cleric." He had two illegitimate children: a son Abraham, who was gifted by his father with the lands of Portincalzie in the Rhins of Galloway; and a daughter Margaret, who married Patrick Dunbar of Clugston. He was, moreover, a frequent practicer of nepotism.

# Gerisa

Gerisa, also called Ghirza, was an ancient city of Roman Libya near the Limes Tripolitanus. It was a small village of 300 inhabitants on the pre-desert zone of Tripolitania.

## History

Even if there was a small local settlement, it was only when Roman legionnaires arrived in Tripolitania that the city of Gerisa was created and developed. Initially its population was mainly local berbers, but some Roman merchants settled there during late Augustus times.
The Limes Tripolitanus was expanded under emperors Hadrian and Septimius Severus, in particular under the legatus Quintus Anicius Faustus in 197-201 AD.
Anicius Faustus was appointed legatus of the Legio III Augusta and built several defensive forts of the Limes Tripolitanus in Tripolitania, among which Garbia and Golaia (Bu Ngem) in order to protect the province from the raids of nomadic tribes. He fulfilled his task quickly and successfully.
As a consequence the Roman city of Gaerisa, situated away from the coast and south of Leptis Magna, developed quickly in a rich agricultural area. Gerisa became a "boom town" after 200 AD, when the Roman emperor Septimius Severus (born in Leptis Magna) had organized in a better way the Limes Tripolitanus.
Former soldiers -mostly local Berbers, but even some legionaries from the Italian peninsula- were settled in this area, and the arid land was developed. Dams and cisterns were built in the Wadi Ghirza (then not dry like today) to regulate the flash floods. These structures are still visible: there it is among the ruins of Gaerisa a temple, which may have been dedicated to the Berber semi-god "Gurzil", and the name of the town itself may even be related to his name.
The farmers produced cereals, figs, vines, olives, pulses, almonds, dates, and perhaps melons. Gaerisa consisted of some forty buildings, including six fortified farms (Centenaria). Two of them were really large. It was abandoned in the Middle Ages.
With Diocletian the limes was partially abandoned and the defense of the area was performed by the Limitanei, local berber soldier-farmers. The Limes survived as an effective protection until Byzantine times (Emperor Justinian restructured the Limes in 533 AD. After then Gaerisa fell in importance and slowly disappeared after the Arab invasions of the late seventh century.
By the tenth century Gerisa was totally forgotten and covered by sand. Only a few centuries later the area was repopulated and now -near the excavated ruins of Gaerisa- there it is a small town named "Ghirza".
# Gerishon Kirima

Gerishon Kamau Kirima was a major Kenyan real estate investor and a former Member of Parliament.

## Early life

Kirima was born in Kiruri village, a tea-growing area of Murang’a County on the slopes of the Aberdares. He dropped out of school at an early age.

## Business

Kirima relocated from his village to the Kinangop Plateau where he started a carpentry business. In the early 1960s after Kenya had attained independence, he moved to Nairobi and registered his business Kirima and Sons Ltd. He was the pioneer carpenter at the University of Nairobi and operated a small workshop in Bahati and later on in Kaloleni. His first wife, Agnes, would help attend to customers at the Kaloleni workshop. Taking advantage of the rural-urban migration to Nairobi that resulted from the dawn of independence and the end of the state of emergency, Kirima opened bars and butcheries in Asian and African neighborhoods to cater for the growing moneyed class. He is considered a pioneer of nyama choma, a popular Kenyan delicacy.
By 1967, and to the surprise of the better educated African civil servants, Kirima had saved enough money to buy 500 acres of land in Nairobi from an Italian Donenico Masi, which the De Masi family have contested claiming that Kirima grabbed the land since he does not have the title deed. In the same year, Kirima bought two more farms in Nairobi - 108 acres from Charles Case and 472 acres from Percy Randall. With these acquisitions, Kirima had positioned himself to be a major meat supplier for Nairobi.
As chairman of the African Butchers Association (later the Kenya National Butchers Union), he successfully lobbied the government for permission to sell meat in the city, a privilege that was hitherto reserved for the still settler-controlled Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) which did not buy meat from African farmers. Kirima started a private abattoir in Njiru, a development that some believe led to the eventual collapse of the KMC years later.
He would venture into the transport business by launching the Kirima Bus Services. However, the business didn't last long following the liberalization of upcountry transportation by the government in 1973. He opted to focus on real estate mostly concentrating on building rental housing in the low income Eastlands area of Nairobi.

## Political career

Kirima served for many years as a city councilor and briefly as deputy mayor. In 1989, Starehe Constituency Member of Parliament Kiruhi Kimondo was dismissed by his party KANU in 1989. By-elections were held the same year. Kirima contested the seat on a KANU ticket and won. He remained in office until the 1992 General Elections when he lost the seat to his predecessor Kimondo.

## Personal life

Kirima had 3 wives, He is estimated to have had 12 children

## Death

Diabetic and partially blind, Gerishon Kirima died on 28 December 2010 while undergoing treatment in South Africa. He was 80 years old.

# Giovanni Angelo Criscuolo

Giovanni Angelo Criscuolo (also known as Gian Angelo Criscuolo) (Cosenza, 1500–1573) was an Italian painter active mainly in Naples.

## Biography

He was the younger brother of the painter Giovanni Filippo Criscuolo. Although he showed an early inclination for art, his father would not permit him to make it his profession, but obliged him to follow the business of a notary. On the death of his father, the reputation his brother had acquired induced him to abandon his occupation, and place himself under the tuition of Marco di Pino da Siena, by whose instruction he became a reputable artist. Dominici describes many of his works in the churches at Naples, among which is an altar-piece in the church of San Stefano, representing the 'Martyrdom of St. Stephen'; in Monte Calvario, a picture of the 'Virgin and Infant, with St. Jerome,' dated 1572; in Santi Severino e Sossio, an 'Annunciation;' and in San Giacomo degli Spagnoli, an 'Assumption of the Virgin.' He wrote a History of the Neapolitan Artists to 1569. The exact date of his death is not known; some say about 1580.
