The Turin Shroud and the Crystal Lens
Author: Professor Nicholas Allen
In this book, Professor Allen proposes that the Shroud of Turin was manufactured in medieval times by an artist using a large camera obscura with a crystal lens. As part of the evidence for his "proto-photography" theory, he used medieval raw materials and created a very striking "photograph" on linen cloth, having properties similar to the image on the Shroud.
