Specific region of origin Braga
Main author Fowler-Magerl, Linda

A systematically arranged collection compiled by the bishop Martin of Braga after the first council of Braga in 561 would become far better known. The author adresses his prologue to bishop Nitigisius of Lugo and to the other bishops of his own province. The collection has not survived independently. It circulated as part of the so-called Epitome Hispana and as part of the Collectio Hispana. Martin explains in his prologue that because translations of the ancient canons were inadequate he was reformulating some of the texts. He divides the collection into canons pertaining to bishops and other clerics and those pertaining to the laity. In the Hispana the Capitula are entitled as follows: Canones ex Orientalium antiquorum patrum sinodis a venerabili Martino episcopo vel ab omni Bracarensi synodo excerpti et emendati. The 11th century compilers Burchard and Ivo attribute the Capitula to Martinus papa.
