Margaret Scott's new book "Fashion in the Middle Ages" has a section on academic dress: pgs 74-7. I don't know much about modern academic wear, but I'd say it only bears a passing resemblance. Also, my knowledge-of-all-specialist-of-none background makes me think probably not, since I think modern doctoral robes are like choir robes with all the cartridge pleating and I don't think many garments displayed cartridge pleating until the late 16th century.

While not exhaustive, that's more than I knew before -- and it's got illos -- and ideas for further research.
