The name of Atto's compilation of canon law is debatable. Linda Fowler-Magerl calls it the long-winded "Capitula canonum excerptarum de diversis conciliis decretalibus statutis atque epistolis congruentium ad forense iudicium tempore domini Attonis episcopi", which translates roughly to “Excerpt chapters of canons about the different decretal statute councils and the corresponding letters to the legal judgment in the time of the lord Bishop Atto.” W. C. Korfmacher uses the shortened "Canones statutaque Vercellensis Ecclesiae", roughly meaning “Canons and Statutes of the Church of Vercelli.” Paul Collins prefers the abbreviated "Capitulare", simply meaning “capitulary.” It is clear in their writing, however, that Collins, Korfmacher, and Fowler-Magerl reference the same work, namely Atto's compilation of and additions to ecclesiastic law.
