Ceangi, or Cangani, ancient inhabitants of Britain, concerning whom antiquaries have been much divided. Camden discovered some traces of them in many different and distant places, as in Somersetshire, Wales, Derbyshire, and Cheshire. Baxter, again, supposed that the Cangi or Ceangi were not a distinct nation, but such of the youth of many different nations as were employed in tending the flocks and herds of their respective tribes. Almost all the ancient nations of Britain had their ceangi, or keepers of their flocks and herds, who ranged over the country in great numbers. This is the reason that vestiges of their name are to be found in so many parts of Britain, but chiefly in those parts which are most fit for pastureage. These ceangi of the different British nations, naturally brave, and rendered still more hardy by their way of life, went armed for the protection of their flocks from wild beasts; and these arms they occasionally employed in the defence of their country.

Canigaggio, or Cambiaso, Luca, one of the most eminent of the Genoese painters, was born in 1527. He was remarkable for the ease and spirit of his design. His works at Genoa are very numerous; and he was employed by the king of Spain to paint the ceiling of the choir of the Escorial. This great work represents the assemblage of the Blessed. Canigaggio died at the Escorial in 1555.
