Charles Buck Theological Dictionary [1]
A person who possesses a prebend or revenue allotted for the performance of divine service in a cathedral or collegiate church. Canons are of no great antiquity. Paschier observes, that the name was not know before Charlemagne: at least, the first we hear of are in Gregory de Tours, who mentions a college of canons instituted by Baldwin Xvi, archbishop of that city, in the time of Clotharius I. The common opinion attributes the institution of this order to Chrodegangus, bishop of Mentz, about the middle of the eighth century.

is the name of a Japanese god, who, as represented in their temples, presided over the waters and the fish. His votaries exhibited him with four arms, and the lower part of his body swallowed by a large sea-monster; his head crowned with flowers; holding in one hand a sceptre, in another a flower, a ring in the third, and having the fourth: closed, with the arm extended.' Over against him stood the figure of an humble penitent, one half of whose body was concealed within a shell. The temple was adorned with arrows and all sorts of warlike instruments.
