Description

First Edition. A treatise systematically examining hats and head coverings. The work addresses sacred and secular headwear, including Catholic episcopal mitres, cardinal’s hats, Jewish rabbinical caps, royal French crowns, and female headdresses. Raynaud, a 17th-century Jesuit theologian, situates headwear within religious, ceremonial, and social frameworks, providing historical context, usage, and symbolic significance. The text reflects seventeenth-century Jesuit scholarship’s engagement with material culture and ritual practice, documenting headgear as a marker of office, status, and identity across religious and secular spheres.
