<p> [[Benedict]] ordered the "cuculla," or hood, to be shaggy for winter, and for summer of lighter texture; and a "scapulare " to be worn instead out of doors, as more suitable for field-work, being open at the sides. The "cuculla" protected the head and shoulders, and, as being worn by infants and peasants, was said to symbolize humility; or, by another account, it was to keep the eyes from glancing right or left. It was part of the dress of nuns, as well as of monks, and was worn by the monks of Tabenna at the mass. It seems in their case to have been longer than a hood or cape. Indeed, "cuculla" is often taken as equivalent to "casula," a covering of the whole person; in later writers it means, not the hood only, but the monastic robe, hood and all. These same Pachomiani, or monks of Tabenna, like the Carthusians, drew their hoods forward at meal-times, so as to hide their faces from one another. The "cappa " (probably akin to our "cape") in [[Italy]] seems to correspond with the Gallic "cuculla," and both were nearly identical, it is thought, with the "melotes," or sheepskin of the earliest, ascetics. </p>

(cucullus), a sort of hood worn by certain classes of monks. Those worn by the Bernardines and Benedictines are of two kinds: the one white; very large, worn in ceremony, and when they assist at the office; the other black, worn on ordinary occasions and in the streets. Mabillon maintains that the cowl is the same in its origin as the scapular (q.v.): Others distinguish two sorts of cowls; the one a gown, reaching to the feet, having sleeves, and a capuchin, used in ceremonies; the other a kind of hood to work in, called also a scapular, because it covers only the head and shoulders. — Farrar, Eccl. Dict. s.v.; Bingham, Orig. Ecclesiastes 7:3; Ecclesiastes 7:6.
