limitation in the _Comm_. of Budde and Siegfried (p. 10)
of all the songs to the marriage relation. Haupt thinks that the
songs were not originally composed for weddings, though used there
(p. 207, _op. cit._). Diestel had pointed out, in another connexion
(_B.L._ 125), that nothing is said in the book of the blessing of
children, the chief end of _marriage_ from a Hebrew standpoint.
[10] Rothstein's criticism of Budde turns chiefly on the latter's
admission of redactional elements, introducing "movement and action,"
and may be summed up in the statement that "Budde himself by the
characteristics he assigns to the redactor points the way again past
his own hypothesis to the dramatical view of the Song" (_loc cit._
594b). A. Harper, "The Song of Songs" (_Cambridge Bible_) also
criticizes Budde at length in favour of the conventional dramatical
theory (Appendix).

CANTILEVER (a word of doubtful origin, probably derived from "lever," in
its ordinary meaning, and "cant," an angle or edge, or else from modern
Lat. _quanta libra_, of what weight), a building term for a stone, iron
or wooden bracket, considerably greater in length than depth, used to
support a gallery, &c.; and for a system of bridge-building (see
BRIDGES).
CANTILUPE, THOMAS DE (c. 1218-1282), English saint and prelate, was a
son of William de Cantilupe, the 2nd baron (d. 1251), one of King John's
ministers, and a nephew of Walter de Cantilupe, bishop of Worcester. He
was educated at Paris and Orleans, afterwards becoming a teacher of
canon law at Oxford and chancellor of the university in 1262. During the
Barons' War Thomas favoured Simon de Montfort and the baronial party. He
represented the barons before St Louis of France at Amiens in 1264; he
was made chancellor of England in February 1265, but was deprived of
this office after Montfort's death at Evesham, and lived out of England
for some time. Returning to England, he was again chancellor of Oxford
University, lectured on theology, and held several ecclesiastical
appointments. In 1274 he attended the second council of Lyons, and in
1275 he was appointed bishop of Hereford. Cantilupe was now a trusted
adviser of Edward I.; he attended the royal c
