Publisher's Synopsis
Tractatus De Pileo, Coeterisque Capitis Tegminibus Tam Sacris Quam Profanis (1655) est opus Theophili Raynaud, quod de pileo, id est capitis tegmine, et aliis eiusdem generis vestibus, tam sacris quam profanis, tractat. Liber est diviso in tres partes, quarum prima agit de pileo, eius historia, formis et usibus; secunda de aliis capitis tegminibus, ut mitris, tiaris, coronis et ceteris, quae in sacris ceremoniis utuntur; tertia de profanis capitis tegminibus, ut pilleis, tiaris, pileis gallicis et ceteris, quae in vita cotidiana utuntur. Raynaud non solum describit et explicat singula capitis tegmina, sed etiam eorum symbolica significata et usus in variis cultibus et ceremoniis exponit. Liber est utilissimus ad intellegendum cultum et ceremonias Ecclesiae, et ad cognoscendum vestium usus et modos in vita cotidiana saeculi XVII.This Book Is In Latin.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
