CABASILAS, NiLUS, in Biography, a Greek, arch- 

 biihop of ThtlTalonica, flour!(!u-d in the 14th century, and 

 wrote two trtatifes againit the Latins. The deilc^n of the 

 firft treatife is to flit-vv, that the divifion between the Greek 

 and Lt'tMi chnrihes is owing to the popes' having refufed 

 to fubniit the dccifion of controverted quelliuns to an oecu- 

 menical council, and arrogating the decilion to thcnifelves ; 

 and the fecond relates to the fuprtmacy of the pope, and 

 attempts to prove, that though he holds his epilcopacy of 

 Rome from St. Peter, he is indebted for his primacy to 

 laws, councils, and piinccs: it alfo denies the pope's infal- 

 libility, and his jurifdiiStion over other patriarchs. Thefe 

 treatifes, n'hicti are clear, methodical, and learned, were 

 firll printed in Greek at London, without date ; in Greek 

 and Latin at Baiil in 1544; at Franckfort in 1,555; ^^ 

 Hainault, with the notes of Salmaiius, in 1608; and at 

 Amllerdam in 1645. This prelate was alfo the anthor of 

 a large work on the proceffion of the Holy Spirit. Du- 

 Pin. Molheim. 



Cabasilas, Nicholas, nephew of the former, and his 

 fuccefl'or as archbifhop of ThcfTalonica, was employed in 

 r.egociations by the emperor Cantacuzenus. In oppofition 

 to the Latins, he compofed an accufarion againll them, 

 and a work " On the Proceifion of the Holy Spirit." He 

 alfo wrote " An Expofition of the Liturgy," in which he 

 delivers the doftrine of the Greek church concerning the 

 mafs ; and which was printed in Latin at Venice in 1545, 

 and at Antvi-erp in 1560 ; and in Greek and Latin in the 

 " Bibliotheca Patrum," Paris, 1624. In the fame " Bib- 

 liotheca," is alio included his " Life of Jefus Chrift," tranf- 

 lated into Latin, and fcparately printed at Ing^^lftadt, in 

 1604. A tranflntion of iiis work " Againll Ufury" is alfo 

 contained in the " Bibliotheca." In the fcicnces of mathe- 

 matics and ailronomy, he is faid to have furpaflcd all his 

 contemporaries. With rcfpeft to his charafter as a writer 

 he refcmbled his uncle, Du-Pin. Moflieim.

CABBAGE, in Botany. See Brassica rapa. 



Caubage, in Agriculture, the name of a well known ef- 

 culent plant, of which there are feveral varieties cultivated 

 by the farmer, as winter and fpring food for different forts 

 of live Hock. It is a fort of culture that is of much confe- 

 quence on all the lliff heavy foils which are too moill and 

 ftrong for the fuccefsful praftice of turnip hulbandry. 

 And another circumftance that adds to its importance is the 

 little danger that attends the crop, and tlie largenefs of the 

 quantity of food that is produced ; as it has been found to 

 be conliderably more in proportion to the fpace of ground 

 that is occupied, than that of turnips. Mr. Young has ob- 

 ferved that cabbages " flourilh to very great profit on ail 

 good foils, and have the particular property of enabling the 

 farmers of clays and wet loams, to winter more cattle than 

 thofe of lighter lands can effect, by means of that excellent 

 root, the turnip. The great evil of clay farms ufed to be," 

 fays he, " the want of green winter food, which confined 

 their flocks to hay alone, and, confequently, prevented their 

 reaping thofe extended articles of profit, tliat arife from nu- 

 merous heads of cattle ; and, befides the immediate bene- 

 fit from the cattle, they loll alfo the opportunity of railing 

 large quantities of dung, whicii never can be effedled fo 

 well as by keeping cattle. But all thefe evils are by the 

 cabbage culture remedied, and the clay farmers put in pof- 

 feilion, in many relpecls, of an equality with the turnip 

 ones. If tlie difference between a fummer fallow-year on 

 clay and a turnip-fallow on light land beconfidered, the im- 

 portance of this difeovery will, he contends, be fufficiently 

 clear. Thirty Ihillings for an acre expenee of the tirll, are 

 not an exaggerated calculation ; but <•!! is favcd on the turnip 

 land, perhaps with profit ; and the barley that follows the 

 turnips is probably nearly as good as t'lat which fucceeda 

 the fimwner- fallow clay. Suppofing the following clover 

 and wheat equal to both, according to foil, Hill there re- 

 mains a fuperiority in the article manure ; for all that 19 

 raifed by the confumption of the turnip crop is fo much fu- 

 perior to the clay f jil. But reverfe the medal ; fuppofe 

 cabbages to be introduced on the clay, and the fcene is 

 changed. That crop will exceed the tun.ips, yield more 

 profit, and enable the farmer to make moic n.anurc. For 

 thefe reafons, the recommendation of cabbages appears to 

 be extremely Weil founded, and confequently, tliole farmers 

 who poffels the proper foils, cannot uctcrmine too foon to 

 enter on the cultivation of them. But there is another cir-
