This capital depicts the story of Martin who shared his cloak with a poor man who was revealed to be Christ. The source of the story was the Life of St. Martin by Sulpicius Severus which is quoted on the impost.
Martin was the third bishop of Tours in the Loire valley. The site of his grave was an important pilgrimage center. Martin of Tours was particularly influential on Saint Benedict, shown on capital 42, author of the Benedictine Rule.
