o act with Garrick, with whom she was
associated at Drury Lane from 1753. She died on the 30th of January
1766. She married Theopihilus Cibber in 1734, but lived with him but a
short time. Appreciations of Mrs Cibber's fine acting are to be found in
many contemporary writers, one of the most discriminating being in the
_Rosciad_ of Charles Churchill.

Colley Cibber's youngest daughter, CHARLOTTE, married Richard Charke, a
violinist, from whom she was soon separated. She began as an understudy
to actresses in leading parts, but quarrelled with her manager, Charles
Fleetwood, on whom she wrote a one-act skit, _The Art of Management_
(1735). She also wrote two comedies and two novels of small merit, and
an untrustworthy, but amusing _Narrative of Life of ... Charlotte
Charke, ... by herself_ (1755), reprinted in Hunt and Clarke's
_Autobiographies_ (1822).

CIBORIUM, a name in classical Latin for a drinking-vessel. It is the
latinized form of the Gr. [Greek: kiborion], the cup-shaped seed-vessel
of the Egyptian water-lily, the seeds or nuts of which were known as
"Egyptian beans." In the early Christian Church the _ciborium_ was a
canopy over the altar (q.v.), supported on columns, and from it hung the
receptacle in which was reserved the consecrated wafer of the Eucharist.
The use of the word has probably been much influenced by the early false
connexion with _cibus_, food, cf. Agatio, bishop of Pisa (quoted in Du
Cange, _Gloss._ s.v.), "Ciborium vas esse ad ferendos cibos." In the
Eastern Church the columns rested on the altar itself, in the Western
they reached the ground. The name was early transferred from the canopy
to the vessel containing the reserved sacrament, and in the Western
Church the canopy was known as a "baldaquin," Ital. _baldacchino_, from
_Baldacco_, the Italian name of Bagdad, and hence applied to a rich kind
of embroidered tapestry made there and much used for canopies, &c. At
the present day it is usual in the Roman Church to use the term "pyx"
([Greek: pyxis], properly a vessel made of boxwood) for the receptacle
for the reserved sacrament used in administering the _viaticum_ to the
sick or dying. Medieval pyxes and ciboria are often beautiful examples
of the goldsmith's, enameller's and metal-worker's craft. They take most
usually the shape of a covered chalice or of a cylindrical box with
conical or cylindrical cover surmounted by a cross. An exquisite
