Dalmatica (English spelling)

Japanese: ダルマティカ（英語表記）dalmatica

A tunic-style garment introduced from Dalmatia to the Roman Empire around the end of the 2nd century. Worn by early Christian men and women, it is wide in both body and sleeves and long in length. The body and sleeves are generally trimmed with ornamental stripes called "klaus." From around the 4th century, new ideas were developed in the way the dalmatica was cut, and in the 5th century it became the official and priestly garments of the Byzantine Empire, and was also inherited in Western Europe in the early Middle Ages. It is still used as Catholic ceremonial clothing today. [Inoue Yasuo]

2世紀末ころ，ダルマティアからローマ帝国に伝えられた貫頭衣式の衣服。初期キリスト教徒の男女に着用され，身幅も袖幅も広く，丈も長い。一般に身ごろと袖に〈クラウス〉という条飾をトリミングした。4世紀ごろからダルマティカは裁断の上にも新しいくふうが行われ，5世紀以来ビザンティン帝国の公服や司祭服となり，中世初期の西ヨーロッパにも継承された。現在もカトリックの祭服として使用されている。【井上泰男】
