Editing Image of Edessa (section)

===Holy Face of Genoa===
This image is kept in the [[Church of St Bartholomew of The Armenians, Genoa|Church of St Bartholomew of The Armenians]] in [[Genoa, Italy]].  In the 14th century it was donated to the [[doge of Genoa]] Leonardo Montaldo by the Byzantine Emperor [[John V Palaeologus]].

It has been the subject of a detailed 1969 study by Colette Dufour Bozzo, who dated the outer frame to the late 14th century,<ref>{{Harvnb|Wilson|1991|p=162}}</ref> giving a [[terminus ante quem]] for the inner frame and the image itself. Bozzo found that the image was imprinted on a cloth that had been pasted onto a wooden board.<ref>{{Harvnb|Wilson|1991|p=88}}</ref><ref>[http://www.mpg.de/bilderBerichteDokumente/dokumentation/jahrbuch/2005/kunsthistorisches_institut/forschungsSchwerpunkt1/index.html ''Das Mandylion von Genua und sein paläologischer Rahmen - The Mandylion of Genoa''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071114220342/http://www.mpg.de/bilderBerichteDokumente/dokumentation/jahrbuch/2005/kunsthistorisches_institut/forschungsSchwerpunkt1/index.html |date=2007-11-14 }} (in German) See also: [http://www.eikonikon.nl/bulletin/2003/frankenweg.php ''Annalen van de stad Genua uit de 14de eeuw beschrijven dat het de echte Edessa-mandylion betreft''] (in Dutch)</ref>

The similarity of the image with the [[Veil of Veronica]] suggests a link between the two traditions.
