Summary |
The icon known as the Image of Edessa (and later the Mandylion) is attributed to the times of Christ, although its existence before the sixth century is a matter for debate. This book provides critical editions with versions of related texts, and an analysis of the origins, known history, possible fate and exact nature of the Image of Edessa. |
