1. Title: "Ulgerius, Bishop of Angers (1095-1149): A Medieval Bishop in Regal Vestments" This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard for the publication "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," presents Ulgerius, Bishop of Angers, who served from 1124 until his death in 1149. The meticulously detailed image captures the grandeur and opulence of the medieval episcopate. Ulgerius is depicted wearing the vestments typical of the high clergy during this period. The outer garment is a dalmatic, a long, sleeveless tunic with a wide, open front, adorned with gold and precious gemstones. The dalmatic is worn over a cassock, a long, loose-fitting tunic, which is also embellished with gold and jewels. Atop his head, Ulgerius wears a mitre, a tall, conical hat symbolizing the bishop's ecclesiastical authority. A veil, draped over the mitre, covers his shoulders and chest, adding an air of mystery and reverence. In his right hand, Ulgeris holds a crosier, a pastoral staff topped with a cross, symbolizing his role as a shepherd of his flock. With his left hand, Ulgerius extends a blessing, conveying the spiritual power and divine connection of the bishop. The intricate goldwork and gemstones on his vestments reflect the wealth and prestige of the medieval Church. This engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion, history, and culture of the Middle Ages, providing a captivating window into the past.
