 636 CALVISIDS CALYMENE tery of Plain Palais ; at his own request, no monument was erected, and the exact spot is unknown. His whole earthly wealth, 225 crowns, he bequeathed to his relatives and poor foreigners. -The works of Calvin were first collected in the Geneva edition of 1617, in 12 vols. fol., and afterward in that of Amster- dam, 1671, in 9 vols. fol. A new edition by Baum, Cunitz, and Reuss was commenced at Brunswick in 1863, of which 10 vols. had been issued in 1871. His collected works have been published in English by the Calvin transla- tion society of Edinburgh, in 52 vols. 8vo, com- pleted in 1855. His commentaries were pub- lished together in 1561, ,in 2 vols. 8vo. Tho- luck edited his commentary on the New Tes- tament (Halle, 1831-'4). His Opuscula were issued in 1562 ; the best edition is the Genevan of 1597. Parts of his correspondence appeared in 1576, in Beza's "Life of Calvin." De May in 1557 depicted Calvin's career from the Ro- man Catholic point of view. A " Life of John Calvin," by Elijah Waterman, minister of Bridgeport, Conn., was published in 1813, and a book with the same title by Thomas II. Dyer appeared in London in 1850, and was repub- lished in New York in 1851. The most com- plete biography is given in Paul Henry's Leben Johann Calvins, des grossen Reformatory (3 vols., Hamburg, 1835-'44), with a copious ap- pendix of extracts from 544 letters, to which Dr. Henry had access. This work has been translated by Dr. Stebbing, omitting the ap- pendix, in 2 vols. 8v'o (London and New York, 1854). Audin's Histoire de la vie, des outrages et des doctrines de Calvin (3d ed., Paris, 1845) has been translated into English, German, and Italian, and is written from a Roman Catholic point of view. Among the later biographers of Calvin are Tulloch, "Leaders of the Re- formation" (new ed., London, 1861); Bnn- gener, " Calvin, his Life and Works " (Edin- burgh, 1862) ; Stahelin (Elberfeld, 1863) ; Kampschutte (Leipsic, 1869); Guizot, Histoire dei quatres grands Chretiens francais (2 vols., Paris, 1873). Galiffe, Quelquet pages d'histoire (Geneva, 1868), makes some contributions to Calvin's biography. For the historical rela- tions of Calvinism, see REFORMED CHURCH. ( U, isils, Scllins, a German musician and chroaologist, born at Groschleben, in Thuringia, Feb. 21, 1556, died in Leipsic, Nov. 24, 1615. He was poor, and by his musical talents earned the means to visit several of the German uni- versities. He opened a musical school at Pforta, rather than accept a professorship of mathematics, which was offered to him by two universities. His principal works were, Opus Chronologicum (1605), Elenchus Calendarii (1611), a translation of the Psalms into German verse, and a treatise on music. CALVl'S, Cains Lieinlns Mam-, a Roman orator and poet, a son of the annalist and orator of the same name, bom in 82 B. C., died about 47. He left 21 orations, of which but few fragments survive. One of these, against Va- tinius, whose counsel was Cicero, produced so powerful an effect that the accused interrupted the orator and exclaimed, " Judges, am I to be condemned because my accuser is eloquent ? " His poems in subject and treatment were simi- lar to those of Catullus. CALW, or Kalw, a town of Wurtemberg, sit- uated 21 m. W. S. W. of Stuttgart ; pop. in 1871, 5,582. It lies in a deep and well wooded valley on both banks of the Nagold, which is crossed here by two bridges, and divides it into the upper and lower towns. It has seven churches, a Latin school, and an important foreign missionary institute. The town church and town house are handsome, particularly the latter, which has a fine hall with an arched roof. It is the chief seat of the lumber trade of the Black Forest, and has a number of wool- len and cotton factories. It was in ancient times the capital of the counts of Calw, the wealthiest and most powerful of the Swabian nobles, the ruins of whose castle are still to be seen in the vicinity. Victor II., who was pope from 1055 to 1057, belonged to this family. CALX, a term at first employed by the alche- mists to designate the product obtained by heating a metal in the air. Subsequently it was limited to lime prepared by calcination. (See LIMB.) CALYDON, an ancient city of ^Etolia, cele- brated in the heroic age of Greece. It was founded by ^tolus in the land of the Curetes, and named after his son Calydon. Homer celebrates the fertility of the plain in which Calydon was situated near the Evenus; and in the ninth book of the Iliad he gives a vivid account of one of the battles between the Calydonians and the Curetes, with whom the Calydonians were almost always at war. Fa- mous among the Calydonians were (Eneus, his sons Tydeus, Meleager, and Thoas, the king mentioned by Homer as leader in the Trojan war, and Diomedes, son of Tydeus. The wild boar hunt in this locality has been celebrated by the poets under the name of the Calydonian hunt. (See MELEAGEB.) The city was in the possession of the Achfflans from 391 to 371 B. C., when, after the defeat of the Spartans at Leuc- tra, Epaminoudas restored it to the ./Etolians. It was still a place of some importance in the time of the conflicts between Cassar and Pom- pey ; but Augustus after his victory at Actiurn removed the inhabitants to his newly founded city of Nicopolis, and presented the statue of Artemis Laphria, the goddess worshipped by the Calydonians, to the city of Patras in Achaia. The site of the city is variously described. Col. Leake discovered ruins, including remains of a wall nearly 2J miles in circuit, at Kurtaga, a little E. of the Evenus and about 7 m. from Missolonghi, on one of the last slopes of Mt. Aracynthus, which he supposed to be those of Calydon. CALYMENE (Gr. Ke/ca/liJUjUfw?, concealed, so named from the obscure nature of the genus), a genus of trilobites characterized by the facul-
