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 cabiscolus, and capuscholar, q. d. the head of the school, or band of music.

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