Cantor (singer), an ancient ecclesiastical order so called, and a title still given to the master of the choir in many churches, as, in modern use, precentor. The Councils of Cologne, A.D. 1260 and 1636, give to the chantor, or cantor, the title of chorepiscopus, or bishop of the choir. The cantor is also the same with the primicerius. The order of cantores appears to be of great antiquity, and is mentioned in the Canons called Apostolical, No9. 26, 43, and 69, and in the Lit- urgy of St. Mark, which was ^Titten before the fourth century (Renaudot, JJturg. Orient. CoU. torn, i, pref. p. xxxY, and p. 151). The Council of Laodicea, can. 16, forbids any to sing in church except the singers or cantores whose names were inscribed on the canon of the church, and whose proper place was in the ambo. By can. S8 it forbad the cantores to wear the stole or orarium. The Roman writers endeavor to prove that the lector and cantor were the same, but they are ev- erywhere spoken of in the ancient canons as distinct orders. There is no reason to believe this order to be of higher than ecclesiastical institutftao only. The can- tor might be ordained even by a priest (Con. Carth. 4, cap. 10). This order is still retained in the Oriental Church. — Bingham, Orig. Ecd. bk. iii, ch. vii; Lan- don, Ecd. Diet. s. v.
CanuB or Cano, Melchior, a distinguished Span- ish theologian, was bom at Taran^n in 1628, and en- tered the Dominican order at Salamanca, where he studied theology under Francisco Vittoria, whom he sncceeded in 1646 in the theological chair, after having served brilliantly as professor at Valladolid and Alca- la. He formed a part}' in opposition to Carranza, af- terward archbishop of Toledo, to whose disgrace ho greatly contributed. When the Jesuits endeavored to settle at Salamanca, Canus vehemently denounced
them as the precursors of Antichrist, and so sno
fully that it was not until he had gone to the Canaries
that they could establish themselves in Salamanca.
He was made buhop of the Canaries by Paul III, bnt
' resigned, and retired into a convent of his order, of
I which he became, in 1654, provincial for the province
of Spain. He died at Toledo, Sept 80, 1660. His
' chief and best-known work is his Locorum Tkeotogico-
, rum libri xii, relating to the sources whence polemical
' theologians may derive proofs of their opinions and
arguments (Salamanca, 1662, fbl.). It may be found,
with his other writings, in his Opera, edit, notsc*. (Bas-
; sani, 1776, 4to).— Hoefer, Nomf. Biog. GMrale, viii, 494.
Canute. See Dekmark. I Cap (or BoNHET, pileolus), in clerical dress. Car- ' dinal Richelieu is said to be the first who wore the ca- I lotte, or cap, in France. The red cap is peculiar to the college of cardinals. The bonnet or cap worn by I the Jesuits, Bamabites, Theatines, and by the Italians , generally, is three-cornered and square, and worn with- out the cape. See Vestments of the Clergy.
Caparcotia (KairapKoria, a name of which the initial element is evidently the Heb. ^tO : see Ca- PHAR-), a town located by Ptolemy (iv, 16) in Galilee, and mentioned (Cqparcotani) in the Peutinger Table as situated between Scythopolls and Cesarea Palestinae (Reland, Paltest. p. 461, 687), 24 R. miles from the for- mer and 28 from the latter. It was discovered by Bnrckhardt (Travels, p. 661) in the modem Kefr-Kud, ' a village about one hour [If] west of Jenin, among ' the hills (Robinson, Researches, iii, 159), and half an I hour west of Burkin (Wolcott, in the BibUofh. Sacra, 1848, p. 76 ; Robinson, Later Researches, p. 121), sita- I ated on an eminence, with a high wely north of the I village, called Sheik Zeit, and visible fh)m a great distance all around (Van de Yelde, Memoir, p. 801).
