Volume 6 · 99 words · 1860 Edition

Cancherizato, in the Italian music, a term signifying a piece of music that begins at the end, being the retrograde motion from the end of a song, or other composition, to the beginning.

Candace, or Kandake, a queen of the Ethiopians, mentioned in Scripture, Acts viii. 27. We learn from the testimonies of various profane authors that Ethiopia Proper was for a considerable period under the sway of female sovereigns, who all bore the appellation of Candace; so that it appears to have been merely a distinctive title, like Pharaoh, Ptolemy, or Caesar. (See Plin. H. N. vi. 29.)
