Synopsis "Costume of Prelates of the Catholic Church: According to Roman Etiquette (in English)"
This illustrated and in-depth examination concerns the ceremonial dress of the Catholic Church, with the garments of various offices of clergy explained in detail.The many subtleties and fine points surrounding the attire of the higher ranking clergy are explained at length herein. The color, cut and trim of the individual garments; various robes, headwear like the miter, and dress for specific events such as festival observances. The author is keen to describe the enduring cultural aspects which influence dress custom. How clergy have worn their garments in Italy and the Vatican, and the desire of the Catholic Church for consistent conformity in the United States, is mentioned as a core motivation for this work.Whether a bishop is working within his own diocese, or if he is visiting another, affects how he dresses. Seasonal changes in attire are well-established, as is dress specific for funerary services. The distinctive rings worn by bishops, cardinals, and other ranking clergy are shown to hold a deep symbolic meaning - a wedding to the church.Overall, this book is useful for lay believers, serving clergy, and for tailors and dressmakers who work with Catholic prelates. It remains interesting and relevant since initial publication over a century ago.
