medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture I too can't generalise---but on religious habits as an indicator of corporate identity, signifying outwardly the _cor unum et anima una_ (Acts 4:32) which the members of a religious order should share, check out the Preface to the Premonstratensian statutes (ed. Pl. L. Lefevre and W. M. Grauwen, _Les statuts de Premontre au milieu du xiie siecle), later adopted by the Dominicans; Humbert of Romans in the mid-C13 deplored the variety of habits worn in practice by the early Dominicans and recommended greater uniformity (_Expositio magistri Humberti super constitutiones Fratrum Praedicatorum_, in J. J. Berthier, ed., _B. Humberti de Romanis Opera de Vita Regulari_).
