Pierre Barbet (1884–1961) was a French physician, and the chief surgeon at Saint Joseph's Hospital inParis.^[1]

By performing various experiments, Barbet introduced a set of theories on thecrucifixion of Jesus.^[2][3][4]

In 1950 he wrote a long study calledA Doctor at Calvary which was later published as a book. Barbet stated that his experience as a battlefield surgeon duringWorld War I led him to conclude that the image on theShroud of Turin was authentic, anatomically correct and consistent with crucifixion.^[5] As Barbet wrote, "If this is the work of a forger, than the forger would have to have been a trained anatomist, for there is not one single blunder. Indeed, anatomy bears witness to authenticity."
