Front and back on the same piece of cloth? How does that happen?
From my posting:
‘Teacher Has Theory on the Shroud of Turin’ @ http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2357726/posts
As the Shroud is roughly fourteen feet in length, two pieces of glass would be necessary, both at least six feet long. The image of the front of the man would be produced beneath one and the back of the man beneath the other.
When Dr. Antonio Lombatti, Fellow Researcher in Medieval Church History at the Deputazione di Storia Patria in Parma, Italy was recently asked about the availability of glass large enough to produce the Shroud, he responded, Of course a medieval artist could have enough glass to produce that relic. He pointed out that six foot painted glass windows were not uncommon, and also mentioned that the length discrepancy between the front and back images of the man in the Shroud (1-2 inches) suggests two different phases of production.
