In fact, a circa 593 account states that a 544 siege of Edessa was repulsed by “the divinely wrought likeness which human hands have not made” and which was discovered in the throes of the city’s distress. In 943, the ‘cloth of Edessa’ was moved from Edessa to Constantinople. The year thereafter, this cloth was described as bearing “blood and water from his Jesus’ very side,” and in a circa 1130 sermon borrowing from a 769 discussion, the cloth of Edessa was described as having “the glorious features of Jesus’ face, and the majestic form of his whole body. ... An official history of the cloth of Edessa characterized in 945 the imprint as “a moist secretion without pigment or the painter’s art,” and “due to sweat, not pigments,” descriptions that conceivably could have been of the Shroud. The cloth of Edessa disappeared around the time of the 1204 ransacking of Constantinople. Assuming that the cloth of Edessa is identical with the Shroud of Turin, the cloth of Edessa reappeared in circa 1355, and has been known ever since as the Shroud of Turin. An early charge of forgery appears in a 1389 letter by a bishop alleging that his predecessor had investigated the Shroud’s origin in about 1355, and discovered it to be a painting: Eventually, after diligent inquiry and examination, he the preceding bishop discovered the fraud and how the said cloth had been cunningly painted, the truth being attested by the artist who had painted it, to wit, that it was a work of human skill and not miraculously wrought or bestowed. ...
