CROSIER
Dictionary of Science, Literature and Art · 1854 · p. 8
The staff of an archbishop, surmounted by a cro , and thereby distinguished from the pastoral staff or crook of a bishop. This staff, according to Polyd-ire Virgil, was given to bishops wherewith to chastise the vires of the people; and was called baculus pas loral is, in neir pastoral charge and superintendence over their flock, as well as from its resemblance to the shepherd's crook. Many authors contend that the crosier is derived from the lituus or augural staff of the Romans. [s. 317]
