	Surplice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The surplice originally reached to the feet, but as early as the 13th century it began to shorten, though as late as the 15th century it still fell to the middle of the shin, and only in the 17th and 18th centuries did it become considerably shorter.
		The second Anglican Prayer Book, that of Edward VI in 1552, prescribed the surplice as, with the tippet or the academical hood, the sole vestment of the minister of the church at "all times of their ministration", the rochet being practically regarded as the episcopal surplice.
		The surplice has since remained, with the exception of the cope, the sole vestment authorised by law for the ministers, other than bishops, of the Church of England (for the question of the vestments prescribed by the "Ornaments Rubric" see vestment).

	Surplice
		The surplice may have been used in isolated cases during the twelfth century instead of the alb in administering the sacraments and at blessings, but this use did not become general until the thirteenth century.
		Thus, surplices appeared with slit-up sleeves (thus with wings of material rather than sleeves); then surplices which, besides being slit up on the under side of the sleeve, were also open at the sides, the surplices being thus like scapulars in form.
		Also surplices without sleeves, having mere slits for the arms; finally surplices resembling the medieval bell-shaped chasuble with only an opening in the middle for the head — this shape was customary in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, especially in Venetian territory.

		While the use of the surplice in the pulpit is common, nevertheless the Committee notes the view of Cripps that "the use of the fl gown in the pulpit is not illegal, being sanctioned by the continuous usage of centuries uncontrolled by positive law or judicial decision".

	Somewhat Stretchy : Surplice neckline
		Surplice necklines essentially involve slashing a diagonal from a conventional neckline (actually a tangent) until it reaches below the armpit, and layering two mirror-image pieces as shown in the diagram.
		I've always drafted the surplice at the same time and in the same way as I draft the raglan sleeves, so the neckline has a similar bend to the sleeve seams.
		Notice that the surplice line in the raglan diagram is dropped into the pale rectangle, so that the casing is caught into the side seam under the arm.

	A Letter on Surpliced Choirs, by James Bolles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Because the system is one which attracts the support and cooperation of devout men, most of whom give their services voluntarily, and here, as in England, many of the clergy, when not otherwise engaged, take their places in the choir as choristers.
		I could give many other reasons, derived from experience, why "the surpliced choir" is the only remedy for that lamented desecration of the worship of God's house which is so common, but these are enough for the present.
		Now, though I acknowledge that this argument is exceedingly specious and its fallacy is not easily detected, yet I am surprised you did not yourself discard it after it was penned; for it seems to me a very unkind argument, addressed to the populace, and not at all to the subject in question.
