«El fraude de la Sábana Santa y las reliquias de Cristo» is Juan Eslava Galán's essay in hardback (Planeta DeAgostini, 352 pages, in Spanish).
The author argues that an anonymous 14th-century artist forged Christ's shroud by anticipating the principles of photography, and that the relic gave rise to sindonology, a pseudoscience bent on proving Christ's divinity. He also denounces other relic frauds such as splinters of the Cross, holy foreskins, nappies and veronicas.
Part of the Enigmas Históricos al Descubierto collection. Published in October 2005.
Aimed at readers of historical and religious popularisation interested in the critical analysis of relics and pseudosciences.
Juan Eslava Galán, is a Spanish writer of historic genre, both fiction and non-fiction. He has published some of his works under the pen name Nicholas Wilcox.
