or Capischolus, in ecclesiastical writers, denotes a dignitary in certain cathedrals, who had the superintendency of the choir, or band of music, answering to what in other churches is called chanter or precentor. The word is also written cabicolus, and capitobola, q.d. the head of the school, or band of music.

The capitocolus is also called scolasticus, as having the instruction of the young clerks and choristers, how to perform their duty.
