Download or read book Architecture for the Shroud written by John Beldon Scott and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2003-03 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The famed linen cloth preserved in Turin Cathedral has provoked pious devotion, scientific scrutiny, and morbid curiosity. Imprinted with an image many faithful have traditionally believed to be that of the crucified Christ "painted in his own blood," the Shroud remains an object of intense debate and notoriety yet today. In this amply illustrated volume, John Beldon Scott traces the history of the unique relic, focusing especially on the black-marble and gilt-bronze structure Guarino Guarini designed to house and exhibit it. A key Baroque monument, the chapel comprises many unusual architectural features, which Scott identifies and explains, particulary how the chapel's unprecedented geometry and bizarre imagery convey to the viewer the supernatural powers of the object enshrined there. Drawing on early plans and documents, he demonstrates how the architect's design mirrors the Shroud's strange history as well as political aspirations of its owners, the Dukes of Savoy. Exhibiting it ritually, the Savoy prized their relic with its godly vestige as a means to link their dynasty with divine purposes. Guarini, too, promoted this end by fashioning an illusionary world and sacred space that positioned the duke visually so that he appeared close to the Shroud during its ceremonial display. Finally, Scott describes how the additional need for an outdoor stage for the public showing of the relic to the thousands who came to Turin to see it also helped shape the urban plan of the city and its transformation into the Savoyard capital. Exploring the mystique of this enigmatic relic and investigating its architectural and urban history for the first time, Architecture for the Shroud will appeal to anyone curious about the textile, its display, and the architectural settings designed to enhance its veneration and boost the political agenda of the ruling family.

Download or read book Sindone Passione Morte e Risurrezione di N S Ges Cristo written by Giorgio Sitzia and published by Gruppo Albatros Il Filo. This book was released on 2021-10-31 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Per Giorgio Sitzia, la Sacra Sindone è il simbolo della fede cristiana. Nel corso di questo saggio, attraverso ricostruzioni storiche, filologiche, fisiche e chimiche, l’autore spiega come il velo leggendario non sia solo l’oggetto di ampie ricerche; per chi crede, la Sindone è una vera e propria pagina nella quale sono registrati la vicenda di Gesù Cristo, le sue sofferenze e il suo sacrificio. Gli argomenti a favore di questa tesi sono contenuti negli esperimenti scientifici, nei passi tratti dai Vangeli e nelle testimonianze degli addetti ai lavori. Giorgio Sitzia attinge a un’ampia documentazione per liberare la reliquia da interpretazioni errate e imprecisioni di vario genere. A questa analisi corrisponde allora una riflessione sulla religione, sui rapporti fede-ragione e suggestione-pensiero critico. Credere all’autenticità della Sindone richiede credere alla verità cristiana e viceversa. Nella terra di mezzo tra mito e indizi storici, tra fascinazione biblica e verosimiglianza scientifica, risiedono forse alcune delle risposte al più grande enigma della nostra storia sacra. Giorgio Sitzia, nato a Cagliari nel 1946, è laureato in Medicina e specializzato in Igiene. Negli anni ’90 si è occupato di formazione del personale sanitario. Dal 2010 si è occupato di sindonologia e ha effettuato numerose conferenze sul tema “La passione e la risurrezione di N.S. Gesù Cristo secondo la Sacra sindone” e numerose altre sul tema “Introduzione alla Bibbia”.

Download or read book The Image of Edessa written by Mark Guscin and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Image of Edessa, also later known as the Mandylion, was a relic of Christ, a cloth imprinted with his features which he had used to wipe his face, and subsequently used to cure King Agbar of Edessa, the first Christian ruler. This book collects and provides parallel translations of all the available written evidence for the image, along with detailed analysis of the history of the image. Guscin deftly seperates fact from legend, for while the story of King Agbar is certainly mythical, an image of some sort did definitely exist by the mid tenth century when it was translated to Constantinople.

Book excerpt: The aim of this work is to summarise the important contribution furnished by Optics in the studies of the TS (Turin Shroud) made in more than a century of researches and tests. In the first section the very peculiar characteristics of the TS are presented and discussed showing that up to now the double body image impressed on it is not yet reproducible. Some body image formation hypotheses are presented and they will be tested by also means of optical means successively discussed. The second and third sections respectively present the most important optical researches done in the past and in the present in reference to the Relic and the fourth section discusses some possible optical studies that should be done on the TS to unveil some obscure points. It is also accounted for the conservation problems that are very important for the body image impressed in the linen Cloth in a very particular way.

Book excerpt: Una disamina completa e puntuale che mette a confronto le modalità della flagellazione e della crocifissione romana, gli usi funerari giudaici, fino ad arrivare alle più recenti ricerche scientifiche, attraverso gli apporti di due grandi sindonologi: il dott. Carlo Goldoni, ematologo, i cui studi si concentrano sugli aspetti medico-legali, e il prof. Gino Zaninotto, storico, latinista e grecista, sull'analisi delle fonti. Nella seconda parte, un raffronto fra quanto riscontrato nella Sindone e ciò che è raccontato dai quattro Vangeli, per provare a rispondere alla domanda che tutti, anche se in modi diversi, si pongono: l'Uomo della Sindone è Gesù? Tutti gli indizi raccolti propendono verso una risposta positiva e portano una riflessione sull'importanza di far conoscere la Sindone come documento della Passione di Cristo. Il testo è corredato da appendici e da immagini inedite della Via Crucis secondo la Sindone.

Download or read book Possible Historical Traces in the Doctrina Addai written by Ilaria Ramelli and published by Gorgias PressLlc. This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Teaching of Addai is a Syriac document convincingly dated by some scholars in the fourth or fifth century AD. I agree with this dating, but I think that there may be some points containing possible historical traces that go back even to the first century AD, such as the letters exchanged by king Abgar and Tiberius. Some elements in them point to the real historical context of the reign of Abgar 'the Black' in the first century. The author of the Doctrina might have known the tradition of some historical letters written by Abgar and Tiberius.

Download or read book Relic Icon or Hoax written by Harry E Gove and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in the Turin Shroud continues to the present day even though it was finally carbon dated in 1988 and shown not to be of an age consistent with Christ's burial. Scientifically, the age of the shroud cloth is of little consequence, but to the general public, it is of considerable significance. The author Harry E. Gove is a co-inventor of accelerator mass spectrometry and was responsible for its use in establishing whether the Turin Shroud could have been Christ's burial cloth. Relic, Icon or Hoax?: Carbon Dating the Turin Shroud presents an eyewitness account of the events that culminated in the final determination of the age of the linen cloth of the Turin Shroud and some of the subsequent reactions to the results. The book discusses the application of accelerator mass spectrometry to the carbon dating of the Turin Shroud using samples only a few square centimeters in area and weighing only a few tens of milligrams.

Download or read book All Things Natural written by Marsilio Ficino and published by Shepheard-Walwyn. This book was released on 2010-08-01 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marsilio Ficino, a leading scholar of the Italian Renaissance who translated all the works of Plato into Latin, examines Plato’s Timaeus, the most widely influential and hotly debated of the Platonic writings. Offering a probable account of the creation and nature of the cosmos, the discussion incorporates such questions as What is the function of arithmetic and geometry in the design of creation? What is the nature of mind, soul, matter, and time? and What is our place in the universe? To his main commentary Ficino adds an appendix, which amplifies and elucidates Plato’s meanings and reveals fascinating details about Ficino himself.
