Abstract

The alb, sleeved and often sleeveless, both with cincture and in the modified encinctured form that gradually assimilated itself to what we know as the surplice, never passed wholly out of use in the Lutheran Church. Neither did the chasuble. The cope has survived primarily, but not exclusively, as an episcopal vestment in Scandinavia. The amice persisted in a sense as the collar of the Swedish alb.
