“[W]orn by the deacon. It resembles a square-cut coat, of the color of the season or day. It is worn over the stole and alb. The tunicle, is a simpler form of dalmatic worn by the subdeacon in the solemn celebration of the traditional Latin Mass” (138). It is a sleeved garment, as opposed to the Chasuble. The principal difference between the Gothic and Roman versions is in how the sleeves are joined at the bottom, with the Gothic having more or less full sleeves, whereas the Roman is joined with ribbon or even left open to sit on the arm. It is the deacon’s equivalent of the Chasuble and is put on after the stole. It originated in Dalmatia, where it gets its name.
