For many years, numerous historians have tried using historical documents to trace the Shroud of Turin back before its appearance in Lirey, France, around 1357.

On this subject, an hypothesis has keep attention, the one proposed by Ian Wilson in 1978. Wilson propose that the portrait of Christ that appeared in the city of Edessa would have been the Shroud of Turin folded in such a way that only the face was visible. This image was venerated in Edessa as a miraculous image of the face of Christ. Then, after its arrival in Constantinople in 944, a very limited number of «priviledged persons» would have discovered its real nature of a burial shroud that bears a bloody and complete body image of Jesus. Later, again in Constantinople, the cloth would have been unfolded and exposed as the real shroud of Christ, before disappearing in 1204, during the sack of Constantinople by the latin crusaders. This is the same shroud that would have appeared in Lirey, France, later on.

The major problem with this hypothesis is that it didn’t take into account the evolution of the Abgar legend, which is strongly related to the different political and religious context of each era.

At the beginning, the Image of Edessa comes from the legend of Abgar V, who was king of Edessa at the time of Christ.
For those who don’t know this legend, here’s a short summary in his most recent version:
« The King Abgar was afflicted with a skin disease and would have sent a letter to Christ, in order for him to come to Edessa to heal him. Jesus’ response his also by letter. He told him that he cannot come to Edessa, but promised him to send him one of his Apostles to heal him and to preach him the Gospel. He also send him an image of his face miraculously imprinted on a cloth after he used it to wash his face. This image will heal the king and will serve as a protection against Edessa’s ennemies. » (personal translation).

As we will see, the Abgar legend and the Image of Edessa will evolve during the centuries, in parallel with the questions related to the dogmas that were proclaimed by the universal Church.
At the end, we will look at another trail for the Shroud of Turin being in Constantinople before 1204.

This presentation is the short summary of a complete paper that will be finished the next year. This article is written in collaboration with Yannick Clement and based on many paper of renowned historians.
