| Summary: | Some apocryphal texts - read in a biased, superficial and uncritical way - have been used with an apologetic function to support the historicity and authenticity of certain relics that are said to come from the apostolic period. A significant example is that of the Holy Shroud of Turin, a medieval cloth ; the supporters of its authenticity believe that it was known to the authors of certain apocryphal texts, that its story is told in the Abgar cycle (where it would appear in the form of the cloth known as the Mandylion of Edessa) and that it is also recognisable in certain special iconographic representations. Certains textes apocryphes - lus de manière partielle, superficielle ou non critique - ont été utilisés dans le but apologétique de soutenir le caractère historique et authentique de reliques que l'on dit remonter à l'époque apostolique. Le Saint Suaire de Turin, un drap médiéval, en est un exemple significatif : qui soutient son authenticité considère que les auteurs de certains textes apocryphes en connaissaient l'existence, que son histoire est racontée dans le cycle d'Abgar (où il apparaîtrait sous la forme de la pièce de tissu connue sous le nom de Mandylion d’Édesse) et que l'on peut aussi le reconnaître dans certaines représentations iconographiques. |
