If the historical study which preceded the restoration did not enable us to dispel all the questions which remain about the two pallia attributed to St. Caesarius, their dating by carbon 14 have confirmed the fact that they both come from the 6th century, thus attesting to the exceptional nature of the pieces we have in our hands – the oldest liturgical vestments in France. And it as such that they have been classified historic monuments. On the one hand, the restoration had to take into account the very probable attribution of these materials to Caesarius’ clothing and, on the other hand, of their assimilation to relics, phenomena known in the primitive Church. In this fascinating, but difficult, context involving delicate choices, our priority was to remember these words of Caesarius, which could be dedicated to the conference, “I apply myself to stitching back what has become unstitched, to putting back together what has become torn apart, to care for what has been hurt, to recover what has been lost….” (d’Arles 2003: 78-4) And we earnestly hope that the specialists of Late Antiquity, students and researchers will come to fill in the remaining gaps of the complex history of these liturgical vestments and to complete by their work the hypotheses that we have only been able to sketch out.
