Campo-Formio
a town in Italy, 66 miles N. E. of Venice, famous for the treaty of peace between Austria and France, which was signed in its neighborhood on Oct. 17, 1797. Its chief provisions were that Austria should cede the Belgian provinces and Lombardy to France, receiving in compensation the Venetian states CANA (called by the natives Kefr- Cana; or Kana-el-Jelil), a town of Palestine, celebrated in Scripture as the scene of our Lord's first miracle, when he turned water into wine, is now a small village of a few hundred inhabitants, who are principally Greek Christians, or Nazarenes, situated about 13 miles W. of the Sea of Galilee, and 6 miles N. of Nazareth.
CANAAN (kanan), the country W. of the Jordan, called also Chanaan, and the Land of Canaan, after one of the sons of Ham. The Greeks applied the term Cana to the entire region between the Jordan and the Mediterranean up to Sidon, afterward termed by them Phœnicia, a name which by degrees came to be confined to the N. coast district, or Phoenicia proper. Canaan is generally considered equivalent to the Land of Israel or Palestine.
