The known extant fragments of Chastellain's _Chroniques_ with his
other works were edited by Kervyn de Lettenhove for the Brussels
Academy in 1863-1866 (8 vols., Brussels) as _OEuvres de Georges
Chastellain_. This edition includes all that had been already
published by Buchon in his _Collection de chroniques_ and _Choix de
chroniques_ (material subsequently incorporated in the _Pantheon
litteraire_), and portions printed by Renard in his _Tresor national_,
vol. i. and by Quicherat in the _Proces de la Pucelle_ vol. iv. Kervyn
de Lettenhove's text includes the portions of the chronicle covering
the periods September 1419, October 1422, January 1430 to December
1431, 1451-1452, July 1454 to October 1458, July 1461 to July 1463,
and, with omissions, June 1467 to September 1470; and three volumes of
minor pieces of considerable interest, especially _Le Temple de
Boccace_, dedicated to Margaret of Anjou, and the _Deprecation_ for
Pierre Breze, imprisoned by Louis XI. In the case of these minor works
the attribution to Chastellain is in some cases erroneous, notably in
the case of the _Livre des faits de Jacques de Lalain_, which is the
work of Lefebvre de Saint-Remi, herald of the Golden Fleece. In the
allegorical _Oultre d'amour_ it has been thought a real romance
between Breze and a lady of the royal house is concealed.

notices by Kervyn de Lettenhove prefixed to the _OEuvres_ and in the
_Biographie nationale de Belgique_; and an article (three parts) by
Vallet de Viriville in the _Journal des savants_ (1867).

CHASUBLE (Fr. _chasuble_, Ger. _Kasel_, Span. _casulla_; Late Lat.
_casula_, a little house, hut, from _casa_), a liturgical vestment of
the Catholic Church. It is the outermost garment worn by bishops and
priests at the celebration of the Mass, forming with the alb (q.v.) the
most essential part of the eucharistic vestments. Since it is only used
at the Mass, or rarely for functions intimately connected with the
sacrament of the altar, it may be regarded as the Mass vestment _par
excellence_. The chasuble is thus in a special sense the sacerdotal
vestment, and at the ordination of priests, according to the Roman rite,
the bishop places on the candidate a chasuble rolled up at the back
(_planeta plicata_), with the words, "Take the sacerdotal robe, the
symbol of love,"
