→‎History: comparison to the oldest extant copies of Aristotle's great works
Line 51: Line 51:  
Historians and authors of written works on the Shroud have generally divided its history into two periods of time: a first period, from the time of the [[Resurrection]] ca. 33 A.D. to the fall of [[Constantinople]] in 1204; and the second period from about 1349 to present.  The first version is based largely on circumstantial evidence.

===Comparison with Other Historical Items===
 +
Most historical artifacts and writings, such as those by ancient Greek philosophers like [[Aristotle]], lack a proven chain of custody. No original manuscripts by Aristotle have survived, for example. The oldest extant copies of Aristotle's works are as follows:
 +
*''Metaphysics, mid-800s A.D. (Codex J)
 +
*''Nicomachean Ethics'', 900s A.D. (Codex \(K^{b}\)
 +
*''Politics'', 900s A.D. (Codex Vaticanus graecus 1298)
 
===First Period: A.D. 33 to 1204===
