An excellent current study is "L'Abito Ecclesiastico: Sua Valenza e Storia" by Michele De Santi,and I believe is a summary of his doctoral thesis in Canon law from the Pontifica Universita' Santa Croce. Great read and a very exhaustive study of the history, anthropology, theology and legal dimensions of clerical dress. - Fr. Benedict M La Volpe OFMConv
This dissertation sounds fascinating. Where can I get a copy of this?

ReplyDeleteThank you very much. I will definitely look that up.
ReplyDeleteI took the photo in the library of St. Paul's University in Ottawa.
ReplyDeleteI'll be happy when Google gets around to digitizing all these things so that I can read them on my kindle.
