Rh intended for the legates of popes? The great reliquary at Aix la Chapelle is also ornamented with a representation of Pope Leo III., wearing a conical tiara and a long pallium. (Cahier et Martin, Melanges d'Arch. No. 1.)

The fine Harleian MS., No. 2908, contains an illumination engraved by Strutt (Dresses, &c, pl. 26), representing an ecclesiastic (accompanied by an attendant holding a round-headed pastoral staff) presenting a book to a nimbed seated figure wearing the pallium. These figures, I know not upon what authority, have been asserted to be Elfnoth, Abbot of Westminster, and St. Augustine. As the manuscript, however, seems to be of German origin, and most probably of the school of St. Udalric, this appropriation may perhaps be doubted, in which case it would be impossible to assert whether the standing figure be intended for an archbishop, bishop, abbot, or sub-abbot. Of abbots bearing the curved-headed pastoral staff, there is an interesting series in Peterborough Cathedral, engraved by Carter (Pl. 39), whilst the very curious sculptured capital represented in Brayley's Graphic Illustrator (p. 88), as having been built into an old demolished wall in the Palace Court, Westminster, commemorating the grant of the Charter by William Rufus to Gislebertus, Sub-abbot of Westminster, contains two figures of the sub-abbot holding a circular-headed staff.

In a bas-relief of the 12th or 13th century, on the Sarcophagus of Duke Etichon, who reigned in Alsace in the 7th century, is the representation of a bishop holding a round-topped staff; he wears a low semi-circular mitre, and is also invested with the pallium. (Schopflinus, Alsatia Illustrata, fol. 1751, v. i., pl. 1.)

The coronation of the King of Italy, by the Archbishop of Monza, is represented on the marble bas-relief of an ambo in the cathedral of that city, of the end of the 13th century. The attendant of the archbishop, however, bears a round-topped pastoral staff. (Frisi, Meniorie de Monza, vol. i., pl. x.)

In the MS. of the 12th century, written and illuminated in honour of the Countess Matilda (Libr. Vatican, No. 4922), one of the drawings represents Gotefridus, Bishop of Brescia, cutting off an arm of St. Appollonius, the former bishop, as a relic. Both bishops are figured with the pallium. In another illumination, the same "Gotefred' Ep's" also wears the pallium, and holds a round-topped pastoral staff. In a third illumination, "Tedaldus Ep's" also wears the pallium, and bears a similar pastoral staff. (D'Agincourt, Hist, de l'Art; Peintures, pl. lxvi.)

The incised monumental slab of Henri Sanglier, Archbishop of Sens, who died in 1144, represents him as wearing the pallium, and also as holding a foliated-headed pastoral staff. (Lenoir, Mon. de la France, pl. xviii., f. 3.)

In the remarkable sculptures on the tomb of King Dagobert, SS. Denis and Martin are represented as bishops with circular-headed staves. (Lenoir, pl. xxii.) In the painting of King John and Blanche de Navarre, given in the same work (pl. xxviii.), St. Denis is represented as invested with the pallium.

The seal of Theobald, Archbishop of Canterbury, A.D. 1139, is one of the earliest known of the pointed oval form, and presents the full-length figure of that prelate, who is represented without a pallium, and with a round-headed pastoral staff; as is also the case with the seal of Hugo of
