Image of my own (beardless!) face, obtained in 2015 via contact imprinting technique, easily realizable in medieval times.
Pre-imprinting! (purely a modern photo as distinct from medieval -type imprint!)

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”?

Doh! I can think of only 19 reasons why the Shroud image was made by thermal imprinting (“scorching”) onto linen from a heated effigy

Did John Jackson really demolish scorching as a mechanism? Maybe someone could explain to me how (in simple terms)

Yes, there is clear evidence of tenting, Thibault, with all-or-nothing imaging (yet another nail in the coffin for radiation models)

My checklist of key criteria that need to be reproduced in modelling the Shroud image mechanism – and the extent to which thermal imprinting (“scorching by direct contact”) could be claimed to meet those criteria
