Article describing the 1937-38 excavations beneath Orléans Cathedral, which uncovered remains of earlier churches, mosaic pavements and three bishops' tombs. The author concentrates on the silk textiles from the tombs: a bishop's hose (caligae) and sandals, a twill-woven chasuble with griffin, lion and eagle motifs, and a possible alb with a lozenge pattern and decorative border. Also covers the crozier, chalice and enamel glove medallions found with them. Illustrated with plates of the site, mosaics, metalwork, textile fragments and pattern reconstructions.
