Author [[Ian Wilson (author)|Ian Wilson]] has argued that the object venerated as the Mandylion from the 6th to the 13th centuries was in fact the Shroud of Turin, folded in four, and enclosed in an oblong frame so that only the face was visible.<ref>{{Harvnb|Wilson|1991}}</ref> Wilson cites documents in the [[Vatican Library]] and the [[University of Leiden]], Netherlands, which seem to suggest the presence of another image at Edessa. A 10th-century codex, ''Codex Vossianus Latinus'' Q 69,<ref>From the library of [[Gerhard Johann Vossius]].</ref> found by Gino Zaninotto in the [[Vatican Library]], contains an 8th-century account saying that an imprint of Christ's whole body was left on a canvas kept in a church in Edessa: it quotes a man called Smera in Constantinople: "King Abgar received a cloth on which one can see not only a face but the whole body" ({{langx|la| [non tantum] faciei figuram sed totius corporis figuram cernere poteris}}).<ref>''Codex Vossianus Latinus'', Q69, and Vatican Library, Codex 5696, fol.35, which was published in Pietro Savio, ''Ricerche storiche sulla Santa Sindone'' Turin 1957.</ref>
