Wikipedia Text: possible history before the 14th century
There are numerous reports of Jesus' burial shroud, or an image of his head, of unknown origin, being venerated in various locations before the fourteenth century (See Humbert, 1978). However, none of these reports has been connected with certainty to the current cloth held in the Turin cathedral. Except for the Image of Edessa, none of the reports of these (up to 43) different "true shrouds" was known to mention an image of a body.
This is an accurate statement. It should be noted that many of the approximately 43 "true shrouds" are obvious paintings and some have no images.
