My consort and I made our best interpretation of both scholar's robes
and master's robes for our elevation (SCA) back in January. Academic
dress and clerical dress start out as pretty much the same thing and
then there is a bit of a divergence--you start seeing physicians and
other learned people who are not practicing clerics wearing gowns that
are different than what clerical types (bishops, etc.) are wearing,
and the academic robes change quite a bit over time.
http://www.bl.uk/catalogues/illuminatedmanuscripts/ILLUMIN.ASP?Size=mid&IllID=40339
is Doctrina from the Omne Bonum, BL Royal 6 E VI vol2 f. 541, wearing
what we're pretty sure is a cappa clausa. c. 1360-1375
http://www.bl.uk/catalogues/illuminatedmanuscripts/ILLUMIN.ASP?Size=mid&IllID=21457
is a university doctor/physician from Harley 3140 f. 32v, 1st quarter
14th c. That's pretty much what our master's robes look like--red wool
with the overlong sleeves. Our scholar's robes are dark green with
shorter, fingertip-length sleeves.
http://www.bl.uk/catalogues/illuminatedmanuscripts/ILLUMIN.ASP?Size=mid&IllID=23830
has a cleric and a lawyer, wearing a garment which I don't remember
the name of.
http://www.bl.uk/catalogues/illuminatedmanuscripts/ILLUMIN.ASP?Size=mid&IllID=32907
has two scholarly types, at least one of them is a lawyer.
I think we have a written bibliography, but he's got custody of it.
I'll have to ask him again for a copy.
Thanks! A bibliography would be awesome. I've gotten some good hints
already.
