Chimere
Loose sleeveless robes worn by Anglican bishops. The origin of the chimere has been the subject of much debate; but the view that it is a modification of the cope is now discarded, and it is practically proved to be derived from the mediaeval tabard, an upper garment worn in civil life by all classes of people both in England and abroad. It has therefore a common origin with certain items of academic dress.
