From the Mandylion of Edessa to the Shroud of Turin: The Metamorphosis and Manipulation of a Legend de Andrea Nicolotti

From the Mandylion of Edessa to the Shroud of Turin: The Metamorphosis and Manipulation of a Legend: Art and Material Culture in Medieval and Renaissance Europe, cartea 1

Autor Andrea Nicolotti
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 sep 2014
According to legend, the Mandylion was an image of Christ’s face imprinted on a towel, kept in Edessa. 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.

Recenzii

"...Nicolotti has convincingly and methodically shown that throughout the textual and visual accounts, the Shroud and the Mandylion are two distinct objects... this book will be useful for anyone interested in miraculous images, the evolution of the image of Christ, and how legends transform over time."
Anna Russakoff (American University of Paris), The Medieval Review, 15/10 (2015)

"...The author interacts thoroughly with the primary sources. His argument is easy to follow and the chapters and themes are well organized. The author’s work is also prevalent in the highly detailed footnotes which give considerable amounts of beneficial details especially for scholars who are interested in the development of the Mandylion. In general, the presentation of the material flows well and the author’s points are made clear. Even though the Mandylion is highly discussed and how the Mandylion is not the Shroud of Turin, one is left with questions on the origins and the history of the Shroud of Turin. The second volume of Nicolotti’s work discusses at length the Turinese Shroud. If the first volume is any indication to what to look forward to, there are high hopes for his second volume."
Najeeb Haddad (Loyola University Chicago), Annali di storia dell'esegesi, 32/2 (2015)
