Mind Body & Soul Ezine Book Review: Turin Shroud - In Whose Image? The Shocking Truth Unveiled by Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince.
The book’s hypothesis is that Leonardo invented the earliest photograph to create the Turin Shroud in 1492 as a substitute for the earliest documented one (first described in 1350) carbon dated from between 1260 and 1390 though there were earlier reports of a facial image. In the first part of the book, all kinds of possibilities are examined and the strange image of a tall bearded man is investigated in detail in the last part. It is mentioned that Aristotle in 4th century BC, Ibn al Haifam in 11th century AD, English John Peckham in 1279, and in 1552AD, Neopolitan Giovanni della Porta also were involved in creating photographic style images.
