caputium is sewn. Scapular; cuculla from shoulder to feet with very wide
sleeves.
17. BENEDICT, ST (_Clugniacs_).—Black cappa clausa with rude sleeves or
hood.
18. BENEDICT, ST (_India_).—Black tunic somewhat short, white scapular,
mantle, and caputium.
19. BETHLEHEMITES.—Black woollen tunic with leather girdle; cappa, on
left side of which a _pannula_ with a representation of the manger at
Bethlehem. Discalced. Black cap on head.
20. BIRGITTA, ST.—Gray tunic and cuculla, to which a caputium is sewn,
gray mantellum, signed with red cross, having a white roundle or plate
at the centre.
21. CAELESTINES.—White, black caputium and scapular.
22. CAMALDULENSES (_Hermits_).—White woollen tunic, scapular and round
caputium; cuculla (also white) in service. Black shoes.
23. CAMALDULENSES (_Monks_).—As Benedictines, but white, and the
scapular is girded round the loins. Tunic with very wide sleeves,
caputium, etc.
24. CAPUCHINS.—Rough black woollen tunic girded with coarse rope; hood
and cape. Discalced.
25. CARMELITES.—Tunic, girdle, scapular, caputium, brown; cappa or
mantle white. Hat on head black, except in Mantua, where it is white.
26. CARMELITES A MONTE SACRO.—Cappa shorter than that of the other
Carmelites, and no cap on head at any time.
27. CARTHUSIANS.—Black woollen pallium, over which white gown passed
over the head, and scapular with side loops.
28. CISTERCIANS.—Benedict XII decreed _brown_ as the Cistercian colour;
but there was an uncertainty as to the interpretation of this decree;
some, alleging that _gray_ or _black_ were included in the term 'brown,'
wore those colours. To remedy this confusion, Sixtus IV decreed black or
white: black caputium and scapular girded round loins; black cuculla
added out of doors. In choir white.
29. CISTERCIANS (_Fogliantino_).—Like the Benedictines in shape, white
in colour. Formerly discalced everywhere, now only in France. Black
wooden sandals worn in Italy.

caputium.

linen scapular; linen cotta in choir. Almuce, worn over the arms in
summer, round the neck in winter.

from rough black natural wool; woollen girdle.
34. COLUMBA, ST (_Avellana_).—White woollen tunic or caputium, over
which a scapular; a narrow pallium added out of doors.
35. CROSS, ST (_Canons regular of; Coimbra_).—Cassock, surplice, and
almuce; the ordinary canonical dress.

uncertain), scapular, and hood. Silver cross constantly borne in the
