consisting of two or more rollers or cylinders in close contact with each
other, and often heated, through which are passed cotton, calico and other
fabrics, for the purpose of having a finished smooth surface given to them;
the process flattens the fibres, removes inequalities, and also gives a
glaze to the surface. It is similarly employed in paper manufacture
(_q.v._). (2) (From the Arabic _qalandar_), an order of dervishes, who
separated from the Baktashite order in the 14th century; they were vowed to

CALENUS, QUINTUS FUFIUS, Roman general. As tribune of the people in 61
B.C., he wa$ chiefly instrumental in securing the acquittal of the
notorious Publius Clodius when charged with having profaned the mysteries
of Bona Dea (Cicero, _Ad. Att._ i. 16). In 59 Calenus was praetor, and
brought forward a law that the senators, knights, and tribuni aerarii, who
composed the judices, should vote separately, so that it might be known how
they gave their votes (Dio Cassius xxxviii. 8). He fought in Gaul (51) and
Spain (49) under Caesar, who, after he had crossed over to Greece (48),
sent Calenus from Epirus to bring over the rest of the troops from Italy.
On the passage to Italy, most of the ships were captured by Bibulus and
Calenus himself escaped with difficulty. In 47 he was raised to the
consulship through the influence of Caesar. After the death of the
dictator, he joined Antony, whose legions he afterwards commanded in the
north of Italy. He died in 41, while stationed with his army at the foot of
the Alps, just as he was on the point of marching against Octavianus.

CALEPINO, AMBROGIO (1435-1511), Italian lexicographer, born at Bergamo in
1435, was descended of an old family of Calepio, whence he took his name.
Becoming an Augustinian monk, he devoted his whole life to the composition
of a polyglott dictionary, first printed at Reggio in 1502. This gigantic
work was afterwards augmented by Passerat and others. The most complete
edition, published at Basel in 1590, comprises no fewer than eleven
languages. The best edition is that published at Padua in seven languages
in 1772. Calepino died blind in 1511.
