a list or register of the church, called in Greek κανών and κατάλογος ἱερατικός; in Latin, album, matricula, tabula clericorum. The use of the word matricula to designate entry at college or university record of a new student is due to this early adaptation of the word. Because the names of all the clergy and other persons were enrolled in the matricula, they were called canonici. Farrar, Eccles. Dict. s.v.; Eadie, Eccles. ict. s.v. (See CANONICI); (See DIPTYCHS).
