about the remarkable cloth preserved at Turin.
More recently, most of these writings dealt with
one basic question, was it the actual winding

of His body? Or was the whole thing a gigantic
hoax? A fantastic forgery of the Middle Ages?
Erudite men have lined up on both sides of that
compelling query. Some of the facts about the Holy

have arisen that have troubled mathematicians,
