Image of my own (beardless!) face, obtained in 2015 via contact imprinting technique, easily realizable in medieval times.

Conflicting definitions of “sindonology”
1. First, from en.wiktionary
“The study of the Shroud of Turin from a believing perspective”
2. Second, from www.dictionary.
“The scientific study of the Shroud of Turin”
Er, they can’t both be right! Indeed they could be said to be pulling in opposite directions!
So why hasn’t sindonology put its house in order by agreeing on a SINGLE DEFINITION?

Time maybe to re-think the received wisdom about the entire Shroud image being “highly superficial”?

Raymond N Rogers: STURP supremo chemist (RIP) who sadly lost the plot (due to an apparent blind spot, it would seem, for those ultra-thin and highly superficial primary cell walls of flax and linen fibres).
