Holy Fire and Body Image of the Holy Shroud: Divine Photography Hypothesis

Giulio Fanti

World Scientific News > 2023 > 176 > 104-120

Although the double body image of the Holy Shroud (HS) is still today inexplicable and even less reproducible, various hypotheses have been formulated which attempt to explain at least in part what is observed on the most important Relic of Christianity. Many of these hypotheses refer to an intense energy emitted by the corpse that often comes out of traditional science and calls into question the...

A Reexamination of the Pigment-Reinforcement Hypothesis of the Turin Shroud’s Bloodstains

Giulio Fanti

World Scientific News > 2022 > 163 > 99-114

New studies based on X-Ray photographs of the Turin Shroud (TS) from 1978 and new quantitative tests induced the author to reexamine the viability of a hypothesis he had discussed in a prior work [1] where he stated that “A possible explanation for the presence of blood and pigments in the samples studied is that the bloodstains were originally produced by human blood which faded with time … (and)...

Reverse engineering to study the Turin-Shroud Body-image formation

Riccardo Campion, Giulio Fanti

World Scientific News > 2022 > 172 > 263-281

Recent studies on the image of the Turin Shroud (TS) lead to think it could have been formed through a not well-identified mechanism of energy radiation. In order to remove some lacunas about this imaging process, a reverse engineering method has been applied to it, arriving to exclude some possible mechanisms. The image formation of a human face wrapped on a cloth by using an ad-hoc developed software...

Could an anomaly in Turin Shroud blood reopen the 1988-radiocarbon-dating result?

Giulio Fanti

World Scientific News > 2021 > 162 > 102-119

This work proposes an explanation for a blood anomaly found in the Turin Shroud (TS). Unlike common human blood which contains significant levels of nitrogen (weight percentages of the order of 10%), TS blood shows levels of nitrogen which are lower than the background noise produced by the measuring instrument (about 1%). It is not easy to find an explanation for this result, but if we refer to the...

Blood reinforced by pigments in the reddish stains of the Turin Shroud

Giulio Fanti, Giuseppe Zagotto

Journal of Cultural Heritage > 2017 > 25 > C > 113-120

Samples from the Turin Shroud (TS) furnished by STERA Inc. have been analyzed and compared with both material coming from the TS and sticky tapes taken from a copy of the TS produced in 1656 and conserved at Palma di Montechiaro, Sicily, Italy. The attention has been focalized to the many reddish particles contained in these samples that appear to be of many types, shape and sizes. Some of them seem...

Ageing of flax textiles: Fingerprints in micro-Raman spectra of single fibres

Letizia Bonizzoni, Silvia Bruni, Giulio Fanti, Paolo Tiberio, more

Microchemical Journal > 2016 > 125 > C > 69-74

Flax fibre (Linum usitatissimum) is probably the earliest textile material and holds a great archaeological interest. The possibility to define a connection between ageing and molecular characteristics is thus a concrete purpose aiming to help indirect dating. In the present work, such possibility was investigated by spectroscopic techniques that allow to examine micro-sized samples and are moreover...

Non-destructive dating of ancient flax textiles by means of vibrational spectroscopy

Giulio Fanti, Pietro Baraldi, Roberto Basso, Anna Tinti

Vibrational Spectroscopy > 2013 > 67 > Complete > 61-70

The possibility to define a two-way relationship between age and a spectral property of ancient flax textiles has been investigated in the present paper employing both FT-IR and Raman analyses on selected samples dated from about 3250B.C. to 2000A.D.After a first selection to eliminate polluted samples, based on visual inspection, on proper mechanical tests and on a first glance at the resulting spectra,...

Regression analysis with partially labelled regressors: carbon dating of the Shroud of Turin

Marco Riani, Anthony C. Atkinson, Giulio Fanti, Fabio Crosilla

Statistics and Computing > 2013 > 23 > 4 > 551-561

The twelve results from the 1988 radio carbon dating of the Shroud of Turin show surprising heterogeneity. We try to explain this lack of homogeneity by regression on spatial coordinates. However, although the locations of the samples sent to the three laboratories involved are known, the locations of the 12 subsamples within these samples are not. We consider all 387,072 plausible spatial allocations...
