This acheiopoieton image (\"not made by human hands\") disappeared in the eighteenth century. The first records of another acheiropoieton relic appeared in mid-fourteenth century France: a long linen bearing the image of Jesus' corpse, known nowadays as the Holy Shroud of Turin. Some believe the Mandylion and the Shroud to be the same object, first kept in Edessa, later translated to Constantinople, France and Italy. Andrea Nicolotti traces back the legend of the Edessean image in history and art, focusing especially on elements that could prove its identity with the Shroud, concluding that the Mandylion and the Shroud are two distinct objects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Nicolotti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004269193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004269194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 0.60d","brand":"Andrea Nicolotti","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46140795584767,"sku":"9789004269194","price":166.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d47fbe38-f905-4550-9132-0f5f1d27096d.jpg?v=1726597052","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-the-mandylion-of-edessa-andrea-nicolotti-9789004269194","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
