'''Wolfgang Fabricius Capito''' (or '''Köpfel''') ({{circa|1478}} – November 1541) was a [[Germans|German]] religious reformer.

==His life and work==

Capito was born circa 1478 to a smith at [[Hagenau]] in [[Alsace]]. He attended the famous [[Latin school in Pforzheim]].[1]

He was educated for the medical profession but also studied [[law]].{{cn|date=December 2015}} He received a doctorate in theology at [[University of Freiburg Faculty of Theology|Freiburg]].[1] Having joined the [[Benedictines]], taught for some time at Freiburg. He acted for three years as pastor in [[Bruchsal]].{{cn|date=December 2015}} In 1516 he became cathedral preacher of [[Basel Minster]].[1]

In 1519 he removed to [[Mainz]] at the request of Albrecht, [[Archbishop of Mainz|archbishop of that city]], who soon made him his chancellor. In 1523 he settled at [[Strasbourg]], where he remained until his death in November 1541. He had found it increasingly difficult to reconcile the new religion with the old, and from 1524 was one of the leaders of the reformed faith in Strasbourg. He took a prominent part in the earlier ecclesiastical transactions of the 16th century, was present at the second conference of [[Zürich]] and at the conference of [[Marburg]], and along with [[Martin Bucer]] drew up the ''Confessio Tetrapolitana''.

Capito was always more concerned for the "unity of the spirit" than for dogmatic formularies, and from his endeavours to conciliate the [[Lutheran]] and [[Zwinglian]] parties in regard to the sacraments, he seems to have incurred the suspicions of his own friends; while from his intimacy with [[Martin Cellarius]] and other divines of the [[Socinian]] school he drew on himself the charge of [[Arianism]].

In 1532 Capito married [[Wibrandis Rosenblatt]], the widow of Oecolampadius. After Wolfgang Capito's death, she married [[Martin Bucer]].

Capito died in [[Strasbourg]].

==Works==
His principal works were:
*''Institutionum Hebraicarum libri duo'';
*''Enarrationes in Habacuc et Hoseam Prophetas'';
* a life of [[Johannes Oecolampadius|Oecolampadius]] and an account of the synod of Berne (1532);
* a Greek version of the ''[[Iliad]]'' in which he refers to himself as ''volfivs cephalaevs'' or ''wolfius cephalaeus''
