I don't doubt that there were many burial cloth images in the Middle Ages.  Some of these cloths would have been conceived as fakes, others were produced and marketed as inspirational duplicates etc.  What the article fails to mention is that there is no indication that the other cloths contained an image as sophisticated as the one on the shroud. 
 
The historians valid claim adds nothing to the final scientific summarry finding:  Shroud C-14 dates to the Middle Ages, image was produced by unknown means.

The article says there were at least 40 other shrouds, most of which were destroyed during the French Revolution. So that means some survived. Any one know where the surviving ones are?
