JSway, M.\Ri.4, miniature-painter, b. in Florence, y, 1759 ; d. at Lodi. 5 January, IS.SS. Her maiden le was Hadfield, her father being an English- [1. She .showed great talent in drawing at an early , and when only nineteen was elected a member of .\eiideniy of Fine Arts in her native city, where luid been educated at a Visitation convent. Her ler dying in 1778 she went to England, at the invi- on of her friend, Angelica Kauffman, who intro- ed her to society. She then met Richard Cosway, irded as one of the most remarkable miniature- it^-rs of the eighteenth century, whom she married in idon. ISJanuary, 1781. Inthatyear.shefirstexhib- at the Academy, continuing to do so down to 1801 , her oil pict ures, mythological and allegorical in sub- , were not works of specially high merit, although f showed signs of genius. She was no mean ex- ent of the art of miniature-painting, however, and ly of her copies of her husband's works are note- thy. Her Sunday evening concerts in London are n mentioned by Horace Walpole and other writers he day. She was passionately attached to her band, and after his death disposed of his art .sures and went to Italy. Prior to his decease, . Cosway, had started in Lyons a school for girls he earnest request of Cardinal Fesch, but in 1811, ng to the war, this was closed. In the following r she made a similar effort in Italy, acquiring a vent at Lodi, where she established her teachers n Lyons. Cosway repeatedly helped her in her !me and gave her considerable simis of money ards it. After his decease she made her home in i, bought the buildings outright, attached them to neighbouring church, and merged the little teach- coiiimunity she had established in that of the ne.s Inglesi, a branch of which Francis I desired to ,blish in Italy. For her generosity the Emperor 8.34 created her a Baroness of the Austrian Empire gave her a grant of arms. She devoted tli(> whole er time and means to her school. She is buried in neighbotiring church. The municipality erected ust to her memon,', and the school which she ided and endowed is still a flourishing institution the education of girls. In the dining-room of it erected a replica of the monument to the memory er husband that she had Westmacott put up in ylebone Church, London. In the library are pre- ed many of her husband's works together with ks and furniture which had belonged to Cosway, papers relative to her own and her husband's life.

otelier (CoTELERirs). Jean-Baptistb, patristic >lar and theologian, b. December, 1629, at Ninies; 9 .\ugu.st, 1686, at Paris. The early education of

very gifted man was under the personal direction lis father, at one time a minister of the Reformed ircli. but later a convert to Catholicity. So rapid

his progress in learning that he could fluently !rpret the Bible in the original Hebrew and Greek )re the General .\sscmbly of the French clergy at

Mantes (Kill ). On the same occasion he showed his proficiency in mathematics, and made such a favour- able impression on the clergy that they increased his father's pension from 600 to 1000 livres. To this sum 300 livres were added for the purchase of books. Dur- ing the period of his theological studies at Paris (1641- 47), Cotelier's brilliant intellectual qualities procured for him an introduction to the king (1644). He graduated as liachelor in theology in 1647 at the Sor- bonnc, of which he became a member in 1648, though he never received priestly ordination. In 1654, he accomjianied ,\rchbishop d'Aubusson de la Feuillade of Embrun to his diocese and became his coun,sellor. He returned, in 159, to Paris and again devoted himself to study. With the philologist Du Cange he was commissioned in 1667 by Minister Colbert to investi- gate and catalogue the Greek manuscrijits of the Royal Library. In 1676 he was appointed jirofcssor of the Greek language in the College Royal at Paris.

The editions of ancient WTitings prepared by Cote- lier w-ere, in chronological order: (1) "Homilia" qua- tuor in Psalmos et intcrpretatio prophetiae Danielis, graece et latine" (Paris, 1661). He attributed these un-ublished homilies to St. John Chrysostom; other cnlics, owing to the diversity of style, hold a different opinion. (2) " SS. Patrum qui temporibus apostolicis floruerunt, Barnabse, dementis, Herma?, Ignatii, Polycarpi opera edita et non edita, vera et supjiosita, gra?ce et latine, cum notis" (Paris, 1672). This ex- cellent edition is Cotelier's princijial work. From its title was derived the designation of Apostolic Fathers for the earliest non-inspired Christian writers. Most of the copies of the work were consumed by a con- flagration in the College Montaigu at Paris. Two re- vised editions were published by Leclerc (Clericus), one at Antwerp (1698), the other at Amsterdam (1724). Reprints of this last edition are found in Migne, P. G., I, II, V. (3) '^Ecclesia; Grsocx Monu- menta, gra;ce et latine" (Paris, 1677, 1681, 1686). The third volume of this series was published two days before the author's death. He had collected materials for a fourth volume which was edited (1688) by the Maurists, Pouget, Montfaucon, and Lopin, and is sometimes known as "Analeeta Gneca". Cotelier also left several volumes of manuscripts, which bear cliiefly on Christian antiquity and are still jireserved in the Bibliotheque Nationale at Paris. He was an extremely accurate scholar, of a modest and retiring nature and kindly disposition.

Cotenna, a titular see of Asia Minor. Strabo (XII, 570) mentions the Katenneis in Pisidia adjoin- ing Selgc (now Siirk) and the tribe of Homonades (east and north of Trogitis, Seidi Sheihr Lake). Their city must be identified with the modern village of Godena or Gudene, on the Alaghir Tchai, in the vil- ayet of Konia. .\n inscription has been foimd show- ing that the people called themselv(>s Kotenneis, so that the true name of the town was Kolenna. Hie- rocles mentions it as Kotana in Pamjihylia. It ap- pears as Kotaina in Parthey's "Notifia^ episcopa- tuum", X and XIII, twelfth or thirteenth century, as a suffragan of Si<le. Six bishops are known: Hesy- chius in 381, Acacius in 431, Eugenius or luisebius in 451, Flavianus in 5.'{6, Cosma.s in 680, Macarius in 879. It has been saitl that the Kotenneis are the same as the Etenneis, mentioned by Polybius, V, 73, as living in Pisidia above Side, and who struck coins in the Roman times. The native name may have been Hetenneis, and the tribe afterwards divided into at least two districts, the northern taking the name Etenneis while the southern preferred Kotenneis. There was another see called Etenna or something
