Anotations

Scope note:

Voluminous cloaks worn by higher Christian prelates, typically bishops and cardinals. In design, it is often circular, of purple or red color, having a large hood, and so large that the back trails on the ground, and the front is draped over one arm to allow free movement of the feet. This very full form did not develop until the 14th century.
