Engraving, part of the second part of 'Omnium pene Europae, Asiae, Aphricae atque Americae Gentium Habitus' (Costumes of the various nations of Europe, Asia, Africa and America), a series of prints representing figures wearing ecclesiastical vestments from various parts of the world, engraved by Abraham de Bruyn and published by Joos de Bosscher in 1581.
The engraving represents a monk from the Umbrian Valley in dark dress, a Celestine monk in cerulean dress, a tunic of the Order of St. Mary and black palliums, similar to those of the Carmelites, and a candidate to the Templar Order. The Umbrian monk wears a hooded cape over a long cloak, closed over his tunic, and long mustache and beard. The Celestine monk wears a hat without brim, a hooded cape, and long, closed cloak. The monk of the Order of St. Mary wears a hooded cape over a cope and a long-sleeved tunic, and holds an open Bible, which he reads, on the left hand. Finally, the Templar candidate wears a hooded cape and a long cloak over a long-sleeved tunic, and holds a scroll of paper on his left hand.
