Conflicting definitions of “sindonology”
1. First, from en.wiktionary
“The study of the Shroud of Turin from a believing perspective”

Please excuse this pot-boiler of a posting …
Once again, this site has disappeared completely from Google rankings (under a “shroud of turin” search), and it happened, bizarrely, “overnight”. One can only speculate as to reasons – which might be legitimate – albeit puzzling in the suddenness if … Continue reading
