The finer tallit, very likely, was similar in quality to <strong>the</strong> Roman pallium, <strong>and</strong> was worn<br />
only by distinguished men, rabbis, <strong>and</strong> scholars (B. B. 98a; Midrash Genesis<br />
Rabbah xxxvi.; Midrash Exodus Rabbah xxvii.). The tallit was sometimes worn<br />
partly doubled, <strong>and</strong> sometimes with <strong>the</strong> ends thrown over <strong>the</strong> shoulders (Talmud<br />
references Shab. 147a; Men. 41a). The Episcopal churches also use a form <strong>of</strong> tallit<br />
in <strong>the</strong> form <strong>of</strong> stola. STOLE (Lat. stola <strong>and</strong> orarium, Fr. etole, It. stola, Sp. estola,<br />
Ger. Stola), a liturgical vestment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Episcopal Churches, peculiar to <strong>the</strong> higher<br />
orders, i.e. deacons, priests <strong>and</strong> bishops.<br />
