1 - INTRODUCTION. 

Since Monsignor Giulio Ricci first strongly suggested in 1985 that the cloth venerated in Oviedo (Asturias, Northern Spain), known as the Sudarium of Oviedo, and the Shroud of Turin had really been used on the same corpse, the separate study of each cloth has advanced greatly, according to the terminology with which scientific method can approach this hypothesis in this day and age. The paper called "The Sudarium of Oviedo and the Shroud of Turin, two complementary Relics?" was read at the Cagliari Congress on Dating the Shroud in 1990. This present paper can be considered the second part of that one. Great steps forward have been taken in all the scientific fields that were only beginning for us in 1990. We cannot explain here all the new discoveries about the Sudarium made since 1990. Most of it has been published in the Book of Acts of the First International Congress on the Sudarium of Oviedo, held in Oviedo in 1994. Well aware of the lack of knowledge about this cloth, following are the conclusions published in our recent study in "Biblia y Fe" (Bible and Faith) no. 71, entitled "The Historical Jesus: The Sudarium of Oviedo", published by the Biblical School of Madrid.
