Abstract

The establishment of the Polish Center of Syndonology in Krakow in
2017, which is the delegation of the International Center of Syndonology in
Turin, inspired the author to reflect on the Polish research on the Shroud
of Turin. The article presents three generations of Polish syndonologists: major investigators of the shroud from the second half of the twentieth
century and co-founders of the Syndonological Study in Krakow, created
at the Polish Theological Society in 1981, and (3) the shroud researchers in
the 21st century cooperating with the Polish Center of Syndonology. Their
main research and educational achievements as well as participation in
international fora were pointed out. The article is supplemented by Polish
syndonological bibliography.
