CAIET' (Pierre Vidor Palma), born in 1525 at Mont- 
ricliard in Touraine, of a poor family ; at firtt he was a 
Proteftant divine, attached to Catharine of Bourbon, tiller 
of Henry IV. but was depofed in a fynod on a charge of 
pradtiting the arts of magic. This fentence accelerated 
his abjuration : lie delivered it at Paiis in 1595,. and died 
in 1610, at the a.ge of eighty-five, doCtor of the Sor bonne, 
and profeffor of Hebrew in the college royal. He was of a 
kind and officious difpofition, and was fo unfortunate as 
to have for his enemies all whom he had obliged. His 
flovenly drefs, his manner of life, and his zeal in looking 
for the philofopher’s Hone, drew upon him no lefs con¬ 
tempt than his learning brought him refpeft. Notwith- 
ifanding his fiiabby exterior, Henry IV. continued to ad¬ 
mit him to court, not without wifliing however to avoid 
it, which he /hew ed by prefenting him with a fmall edate 
in the country : a pliilofophical retreat fufficient for fatis- 
fying the amb.ition of a fcholar. The Calvinifts, whom 
he had deferted, did not tieat him,fo handlomely as Hen¬ 
ry IV. They loaded him with injuries and calumnies. 
Since his abjuration he had had a conference with D11 
Moulin, and this was a frefh reafon for putting his old 
friends' in an ill humour. Caiet did not remain (ilent, but 
publifiied, in 1603, againft Du Moulin, the book empha¬ 
tically entitled, “ The Fiery Furnace, and the Reverbe¬ 
ratory Furnace, for evaporating the pretended Waters of 
Siloam (this was the title of Du Moulin’s work), and for 
ftrengthening the Fire of Purgatory.” An anecdote is 
related of him, much to his honour. The intimacy 
between the count de Soitfons and the filler of Henry IV. 
proceeded fitch lengths, that they ordered Caiet to marry 
them immediately. On his refufal to do it,, the prince 
threatened to kill him. “Kill me then,” replied Caiet : 
“ I had much rather die by the hand of a prince, than by 
that of the hangman.” He left feveral controverfial pie¬ 
ces, far lefs confuted. than his Chronologie Septennaire, 
1606, in 8ve. from the peace of Vervins in 1598 to the 
year 1604. The reception this work met with obliged him 
to add to the Hidory of the Peace that of the war that 
went before it. We have this additional hidory in the 
three volumes of his Chronologie Novennaire, 1608, Svo. 
from 15S9 to 1598. It thews us all the pains and trouble 
it cotl Henry IV. to get poffeffion of his kingdom. The 
abbe d’Artigny has collected the principal particulars of 
it in his Nouveaux Memoires de Litterature.

CA'JETAN, a cardinal, born in 1469 at Cajeta,. in 
the kingdom of Naples. His proper name was Thomas 
de Vio ; but he took that of Cajetan from the place of his 
nativity. He was entered of the. order of Dominic, of 
which he became an illudrious ornament; and, having ta¬ 
ken a doctor’s degree when he was about twenty-two years 
of age, he taught philofophy and divinity, fil'd at Paris, 
nnd afterwards at Rome. He went regularly through all 
C A I 599. 
the honours of Ills order, till he was made general of it > 
which office he exercifed for ten years. He defended tlie 
authority of the pope, which fud'ered greatly at the coun¬ 
cil of Nice, in a work entitled, “Of the Power of the 
Pope;” and, for his zeal upon this occafion, was made 
bi(hop of Cajeta. Afterwards lie was.railed to thearchi- 
epifcopal fee of Palermo ; and in 1517 was made a cardi¬ 
nal by pope Leo X. The year after he was Cent a legate 
into Germany, to quell the commotions which Luther had 
raifed by his oppodtion to Leo’s indulgences; but Luther, 
being under the particular protection of Frederic elector of 
Saxony, fet him at defiance ; and though, in obedience to 
the cardinal’s iiimmons, he repaired to Augfburg, yet he' 
rendered his endeavours of no effeft. Cajetan was employ¬ 
ed in fevepal other negotiations and tranfactions, being not 
only a man of letters, but having a peculiar turn for bit 
finefs. He died in 1534, aged fixty.five years. 
Sixtus Senentis tells us, that he was a mod fubtle logi¬ 
cian, an admirable philofopher, and an incomparable di¬ 
vine. He wrote commentaries upon Ariftotle’s Philofo¬ 
phy, and upon Thomas Aquinas’s Theology. He gave a 
literal trandationof all the books of the Old and New Tes¬ 
taments from the originals, excepting Solomon’s Song and 
the Prophets, which he had begun but did not live to fi- 
nith ; and the Revelations of St. John, which he defignedly 
omitted ; faying, that to explain them, it was necelfary for 
a man to be endued, not with parts and learning, but with 
the fpirit of prophecy.

CAIL'LE (Nicholas Lewis de la), a French mathema¬ 
tician and adronomer, born at Rumigny in 1714,.and went 
through his early dudies at the college of Lideu); in Paris. 
His turn for adronomy foon connected him with the cele¬ 
brated Caffini, who procured him an apartment in the ob- 
fervatory ; and, aflifted'by the counfels of this matter, he 
foon acquired a name among the attronomers. He divided 
with M. de Thury the immenfe labour of projecting the 
meridian line; which, patting through the obfervatory, 
extended to the extremities of the kingdom. In 1739, he 
was named, without his knowledge, profeffor of mathe¬ 
matics in the college of Mazarine ; and, in 1741, admitted 
into-the Academy of Sciences. Mod of the academies in 
Europe did him this honour. In 1750, countenanced and 
protected by the court, he undertook a voyage to the Cape 
of Good Hope, with a view of examining the fouthern 
d'ars, which are not’vifible in our horizon : 'and, in the 
fpace of two years, determined the pofition of near 10,000- 
ftars till then unknown. Upon his return to France, he 
continued his adronomical purfuits; publifiied his cata¬ 
logue of the dars, and the obfervations on which it was 
drawn up; and was every year producing new works in 
adronomy, mathematics, and navigation, when a malig¬ 
nant fever took him off in 1762, aged forty-eight. In all 
his works (and, befides the pieces inferted in the collections 
of the academy, there are feveral'volumesin 4to. and Svo.) 
there is an accuracy, clearnefs, and precifion, verynecef- 
fiirv to the abdraft'fciences, and peculiar to De la Caille.
