Hugh Farey is up with a new posting over at The Medieval Shroud. I highly recommend it. The title is, “16th Century Weavers were Magicians.”
Here is the comment I made:
Thank you for your excellent posting. I am not competent to evaluate Joe’s work, so I will wait for others like you to do so. Your analysis is very helpful. The only things that give me pause when it comes to the 1988 radiocarbon dating results are some tidbits from history, namely the Hungarian Pray Manuscript, the presumably Gnostic 2nd- or 3rd-century “Hymn of the Pearl”, and the 6th-century Mozarabic Rite.
Keep your academic disputes to yourself. Don’t sink to his level. Don’t understand why everyone thinks it is okay to air your dirty laundry these days. The stench is just getting palpable. I don’t want to hear it. I just want to read about real data. Get it?
To sink to someone’s level is to rise to their level.
Joe Marino and Hugh Farey are both friends who have made significant contributions to our attempts to understand the Shroud.
Oh, I get it.
But sinking/rising to a friend’s level doesn’t necessarily require one to “air their dirty laundry”. There’s plenty of other Shroud material to blog about.
There are so many Magicians. The best out of best magician is the one who created the image on the shroud. Even today best of best scientist or Technologist can’t create a similar image on a linen cloth.
