"Robes and Honor is a exploration of the possible common origin and subsequent developments of investiture across medieval Christianity and medieval Islam. The ceremony in all of its cultural variety was much more than the public adoption of a high-value textile as symbol of office; with in a culture, robing established a personal link "from the hand" of the giver - king, pope, head of a sect, ambassador - to the receiver - noble, general, official, nun, or acolyte.

This volume challenges current thinking on religious and regional boundaries of "cultures," raises semiotic issues about imagined communities, and addresses problems of kingship."--BOOK JACKET.
