More on New Conference Proceedings: International Workshop on the Scientific approach to the Acheiropoietos Images

Paolo Di Lazzaro, the chair and proceedings editor, was kind enough to send me the full title page and table of contents, reproduced here (with some minor formatting tweaks to accommodate the blog’s peculiarities). Click here for the abstract, cover photo and a link for ordering.

A quick glance at the contents (topics and the presenters) should convince every serious Shroud of Turin scholar that this is a must. Click Here to Order.
