What is your specific quiry? Like uniforms, the various robes and garments are particular to the various institutions that were required for students to wear.? When it comes to modern day garb, these garments may be eclectic according to the institutions requiring them for ceremonies. The stoles and hoods are now regulated somewhat to be reprsentative of specific universities/colleges re school colors and disciplines.
First -- as I mentioned in the original email, what are the actual figures referenced in Davenport -- the index is incorrect.
Second -- what I'm looking for is what was Medieval/Renaissance Dress. Our dean keeps saying that Academic Dress (tm) is unchanged since the 14th Century -- I want to know what 14th C Academic Dress looks like!

The appendix lists several figures: 323, 594-596, 1560-1578, and 1759. 1561-1578 are Academic Gowns as is 1759. 323 and 594-596, however, are clearly *NOT* academic regalia (nor are they identified as such in the captions or text). Was there ever a set of corrections for the figures in Davenport? Does anybody know what those correct figures might be?
