It is with deep sadness that I must report the death of our dear friend Dame Isabel Piczek, in Los Angeles on September 2. By profession, Isabel was a world renowned monumental sacred artist whose stained glass windows, huge murals and mosaics grace countless monasteries, churches, convents and schools. Probably her most significant contribution to the Shroud were her articles that showed from a professional artist's point of view why the Shroud is not a painting. In fact, her article titled, Is the Shroud of Turin a Painting? A memorial service was held for Isabel on Thursday, October 1. AM at the San Fernando Mission Church in Mission Hills, CA. She was laid to rest in San Fernando Mission Mausoleum section at San Fernando Mission Cemetery. Isabel's mother and sister are also resting in this same cemetery. Here is an excerpt from her official Obituary, which tells the amazing story of her life in great detail. She was born in Hatvan, Hungary to Zoltan and Elona Piczek. Her father Zoltan was a noted artist and art professor. Isabel graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest and in addition to being a world class artist also became an internationally known Physicist, recognized for her study of the Shroud of Turin. Isabel shared her formative years as an artist with her sister Edith who also nurtured and developed her own artistic style. Their partnership blossomed and matured through the years. Edith was a frequent collaborator and Isabel's lifetime companion until her death in 2. She was an exceptional person, both Scientist and Artist .. Each year, to celebrate Christmas, she used to send reproductions of these numerous vitraux. Most being slender pictures of the Risen Christ! May God receive among His Chosen Dame Isabel, marvelous witness to the glory of Christ, All of Sindonology is mourning for her, particularly CIELT's members,who she visited many times,Marcel Alonso*************** Isabel was a wonderful friend. We were fellow researchers on the Shroud of Turin and metin 1. Paris, France at an international conference on the Shroud. We have been friends ever since. She was a remarkable person and a true prodigy. She was reading at age two! She and her sister Edith painted a 4. Vatican library at age 1. She told her beloved father at age two that she would be the . I love you Isabel, rest in peace, may you be face to face with our savior who was the subject of your life. She did not use the internet but she would write me long letters. I enjoyed her Christmas cards which were her latest designs that she was doing. She was a great artist and I found her great love for the Lord was what enkindled her spirit and inspired her art and research. A Shroud friend of mine, Dan, who also lived in San Diego and I would often drive to LA to visit and have dinner with Isabel. Isabel, now you really know all about the mystery of the Image on the cloth. The Shroud would be a mural if it were a painting; she strongly disagreed with those, such as the late Walter C. Mc. Crone, that the Shroud was a painting! Also included are many photographs that Paul made when he visited Isabel and some of her many artwork installations in California. Creator of great wall frescoes and of magnificent stained glass windows, she has received many awards for her masterpieces. In the field of Sindonology, she has proved how a medieval artist could not absolutely be able to realize the image present on the Shroud for various reasons, among which also the problems related to perspective. Together with other scholars, she had founded the AMSTAR (American Shroud of Turin Association for Research) and she had collaborated to the organization of two international congresses on the Shroud in Dallas, in 2. Refined and sensitive woman, she leaves an indelible memory and a huge void. Her unique combination of nuclear physicist and world renowned artist led her to publish many remarkable theories about the Turin Shroud and to present learned papers at international conferences over a period of many years discussing her various proofs of the age and probable authenticity of the Shroud. I had the privilege of knowing Isabel for nearly forty years. She was forthright in discussion, meticulous in research, eloquent in reporting, and a charming companion with supreme qualities of gentility, compassion and courtesy. We met frequently at almost every conference in the latter part of the last century at which we both often presented papers. That she may rest in peace. Petrus Soons***************We extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to everyone who knew and loved her. Rest in peace dear Isabel. Barrie Schwortz***************In Memoriam. Once again, it is my sad duty to report the passing of another important Shroud scholar, Prof. Gino Zaninotto, in Italy on September 1. That same day Joe Marino notified us in a brief e- mail of Prof. Zaninotto's passing and the next day Emanuela Marinelli sent us the message she posted on the News page of her Collegamento pro Sindone website, which we are reprinting here with her permission. Gino Zaninotto, historian and Latin and Greek scholar, died yesterday at 8. In his extensive research on the Shroud, he had carried out in- depth studies on the Roman scourging and crucifixion. He has translated and commented on the De cruce by Justus Lipsius (1. He is also remembered for having discovered and translated important manuscripts, such as the codex Vat. Gr. 5. 11 sheets 1. Gregory, archdeacon and Legal Secretary of the great Church of Constantinople (St. Sophia), a decisive acquisition in favor of the identification of the Edessa Image with the Shroud. We also thank him for the reporting of an interesting document: the Codex Vossianus Latinus Q 6. Rijksuniversiteit of Leyden (Netherlands). It is a tenth- century manuscript that reports an eighth- century story coming from the Syriac area, translated by the archiater Smera of Constantinople. It says that Jesus left the imprint of his entire body on a cloth kept in the Great Church of Edessa and those who contemplated it, could see the Lord like those who had met him on earth. Rest in peace, my friend.
