The claim this week that the Shroud of Turin has writing on it is an extension of claims first made 30 years ago.
The first person who said to have seen faint letters on the controversial linen was the Italian Piero Ugolotti in 1979. Using digital image processing, he reported the existence of Greek and Latin letters written near the face.The current claim is that there are "fragments" of words in three languages - Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. The person who found these letters has written a book about them which she would like you to read.
Skeptics who debunked the claims in 1979 are no less adamant about the recent suggestions:
"There is no evidence that those letters do exist. Many have seen faint writings on the cloth. Rather than a shroud it looks like an encyclopedia," Bruno Barberis, director of the International Center for Shroud Studies of Turin, told Avvenire, a daily Catholic newspaper.
