The Holy Shroud: A Brilliant Hoax in the Time of the Black Death
$26.98 online at Bookshop.org
Art historian Gary Vikan argues the Shroud of Turin is not Christ's burial cloth but a medieval body print made for the French court during the Black Death, later gifted to knight Geoffroi de Charny and misrepresented with faked miracles. He reconstructs how a brilliant hoax became the world's most controversial relic.
