This article appears in Volume V05, Page 761 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CERIGNOLA , a town of Apulia, Italy, in the province of Foggia, 26 m. S.E. by rail from the town of Foggia. Pop. (1901) 34,195 It was rebuilt after a
great
 
earthquake
  in 1731, and has a considerable agricultural
trade
 . In 1503 the Spaniards under Gonzalo de Cordoba defeated the French under the duc de Nemours below the towna victory which made the kingdom of Naples into a Spanish province in Italy. Cerignola occupies the site of Furfane, a station on the Via Traiana between Canusium and Herdoniae.
CERIGOT`1'O, called locally Ls-us (anc. Aegilia or Ogylos; mod. Gr. officially Antikythera), an
island
  of
Greece
 , belonging to the Ionian group, and situated between Cythera (Cerigo) and
Crete
 , about 20 M. from each. Some raised beaches testify to an upheaval in comparatively
recent
  times. With an area of about 10 sq. m. it supports a population of about 300, who are mainly Cretan refugees, and in favourable seasons exports a quantity of good wheat. It was
long
  a favourite resort of Greek pirates. It is famous for the discovery in 1900, close to its
coast
 , of the wreck of an ancient ship with a cargo of bronze and
marble
  statues.
