Shroudie has an interesting page about the translations of the Hymn of the Pearl in the First Century apocryphal book The Acts of Thomas in which it appears the Shroud of Turin is described. Very interesting PING!

Great article, Shroudie!

If you want on or off the Shroud of Turin Ping List, Freepmail me.

Anything that talks about a mirror image on a sheet of cloth in the First Century has just gotta' be interesting.

Now, if they can get off their duffs and do a bit of dating on the "original" parts of the Shroud instead of on the "repaired" parts added in the Middle Ages.

NOTE: The radio carbon dating for the Medieval segment was perfect.
