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”

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).

The Shroud of Turin – let’s focus on that hemicellulose coating on the linen fibres … It could explain a great deal

My answer to the steeped-in-mystique Turin Shroud - evolving gradually from some 10 years of science-based experimental modelling.
