Ian Wilson in his book "The Blood and the Shroud" states that the spear wound is on the right hand side of the chest but all photos of the Shroud show the wound on the left hand side. Obviously the negative is reversed and therefore shows the wound on the right hand side. Which side of the Shroud is the correct way up? This would tell you which side was actually in contact with the body! Can anyone help!?

I am interested in the topic of the stigmata, which Ian Wilson has researched and presented so lucidly. My question is that recently I read a novel set in Carolingian France, involving a stigmatic ("Night Blooming" by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro), and when I asked the author for her source for how stigmatics were treated in the Dark Ages - since I was aware of none before St Francis - she said she had read of at least 2, in the fourth and seventh centuries, in a book on the development of church society policy. (She was unable to remember the name of the book but thought it was written in the 60's.) I would very much appreciate it if anyone could give me any information on European stigmatics before St Francis, or point me toward research possibilities. Thank you. Karen
