In addition to sharing the same blood type, forensic Roman Flagrum experts have identified blood stains that perfectly match on both cloths. This is significant because the Sudarium has been in Oviedo, Spain since the year 611, so any point of contact between the Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium of Oviedo would have occurred before the seventh century.

  • The Shroud and the Stone
    Text © James F. Day 2020 2 The Shroud and the Stone The Turin Shroud and the Medieval Paschal Mystery James Day Orange County, California [email protected] Abstract The Shroud and the Stone proposes a new way of looking at the Shroud of Turin: as a way to deepen understanding of the Paschal Mystery, the mystery of suffering, the dignity of the Redemption, by rediscovering the beauty of medieval Paschal devotions and how these rich expressions of Christ’s Passion, Death and Resurrection can be reintroduced to today’s faithful. Doorway to a Lost World There is a telling line in the epitaph of Conrad I the Peaceful, king of Burgundy, who reigned until his death in AD 993, that summarizes the inherent worldview of the people we will meet in the pages ahead. The part of the inscription reads, in its English translation: “You who wear ​ precious clothes and who endlessly accumulate wealth that will not benefit you, know that you will be satisfied with few possessions after your death. Sufficient the shroud and the stone.”1 ​ ​ What more is there to add about the world famous Shroud of Turin? It has been analyzed and argued over for centuries. But might it be able to unlock for us a door into how ancestors in the faith meditated upon the Paschal Mystery, the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ? Indeed, so important was the physical death of Jesus, the burial of his crucified body, and ​ ultimately the abandoned tomb — the central events of Christianity — it enraptured the medieval mind.

  • Hipatia De Alejandría
    María Dzielska Hipatia de Alejandría Título original: Hypatia of Alexandria María Dzielska, 2004 Traducción: José Luis López Muñoz 2 Hipatia —matemática brillante, neoplatónica elocuente y famosa por su belleza— fue brutalmente asesinada en el año 415 por una turba de cristianos de Alejandría. Desde entonces ha sido una leyenda. En su libro, Maria Dzielska va más allá de la leyenda para ofrecernos la historia verdadera de la vida y la muerte de Hipatia, además de nuevas ideas sobre su mundo. Historiadores, poetas, novelistas victorianos y feministas actuales han visto en Hipatia un símbolo del ocaso de la cultura clásica y de la libertad sexual. Dzielska nos retrotrae a la Alejandría de los días de Hipatia, construye un cuadro convincente y lleno de color de los discípulos y enseñanzas de la joven filósofa y aclara lo que el asesinato de Hipatia revela sobre las tensiones de esa época tumultuosa. 3 Piis manibus Miroslai 4 Nota de agradecimiento La idea de un libro sobre Hipatia se me ocurrió mientras investigaba la vida y la obra de Sinesio de Cirene. Cuando la lectura de sus cartas me llenó de admiración por el alma y la inteligencia de Hipatia, sentí la necesidad de saber más sobre aquella mujer extraordinaria, erudita y filósofa de Alejandría, cuya vida y personalidad espiritual han despertado interés durante muchos siglos. Mientras trabajaba en este libro he recibido ayuda y aliento de distintas personas e instituciones. Empecé la investigación sobre Hipatia en 1988 en la Ashmolean Library durante una breve visita académica a Oxford. Una beca de la Universidad de Harvard en 1990 me proporcionó la oportunidad de reanudar la investigación en el Centro de Estudios Bizantinos en Dumbarton Oaks, Washington D.

  • That Face Overlooking the Gospel: Claudel in Front of the Shroud
    That Face overlooking the Gospel: Claudel in front of the Shroud Publication: 20.06.2020- Flavia Manservigi The search for the face of God pervades all art. And the Shroud represents the perfect acheiropoietos, that is, the effigy not created by the artist but by divine intervention The Holy Shroud "There he is! And he. It's his face! That face that many saints and prophets have worn out from the desire to contemplate, according to the word of the psalm 'my face has sought you: Lord, I will seek your face' ". Thus the French poet Paul Claudel expressed all the wonder of being in front of the image of the face of the Man of the Shroud . A face that can never leave anyone indifferent. Because in that image a search seems to be summarized that is as old as man in his "deep hunger for happiness" (to quote Claudel himself), the deepest search for God, who has torn the veil of history and has come in world with a well-known face and body. In a few lines, Claudel provides a lucid and clear analysis of the feelings that the Shroud face provokes in the viewer. Particularly striking is the statement “We feel we have an original in front of which all the artistic interpretations have only the undoubtedly sincere, but always partial and clumsy value of second-hand works. Leonardo's Christ, that of Dürer and Rembrandt accords with certain parts of the Gospel, but this accords with all. Indeed, it dominates them. " Here the meaning of the Shroud is really understood as an image that synthesizes in itself the concept of "not made by human hands", which has very ancient origins: in fact there is a term, of Greek origin, used to identify a series of effigies that would not be were created by an artist, but whose existence would be directly attributable to a divine intervention: the acheiropoietos.
