(caligce; anciently called campagi), are -stockings of precious stuff-satin, cloth of gold, or silk embroidered-worn by bishops when celebrating, being the first vestment assumed; also by kings at their coronation, and on other solemn occasions. Anciently their use was confined to the bishop of Rome, but by the 9th century they were generally worn by all bishops. The buskins used at the coronation of king James II were made of cloth of tissue. Those belonging to bishop Waynflete, the founder of St. Mary Magdalen College, Oxford, are preserved in the library of that society.
