Came across this article while researching some other items: http://www.shroud.com/pdfs/scavone.pdfCould the Shroud of Turin be a template/remnant of an 12th century Epitaphioi?

No, it's the Mandelyion of Edessa, discovered there in the 4th century, brought to Constantinople in the 9th century, and the prototype for all Epitaphio thereafter.

well, I dunno. Not that link below is the definitive take on the matter; the cerebral frosting of skeptics is anathema to the subtleties of Faith, but it does put forward seemingly empirical findings and in that sense appears informed by more than a guess.
What do you make of the dissenting view of this member of the amazing Randi anti hair shirt club for men?

Don't know if I failed to append the link the first time, or the format ain't be accepting it, but here I go again, me thinks.
