Here's the summary 'blurb' on the book, from the Amazon catalog entry:

Father Ernetti's Chronovisor : The Creation and Disappearance of the World's First Time Machine
Paperback – March, 2000
by Peter Krassa / Miguel Jones (Translator)

Blavatsky, Steiner, Spalding, Strieber, all claim to have peered into the mists of the past or future and to have penetrated into mankind;s origins and his destiny.

In the middle decades of our century, an Italian Benedictine monk claimed to have made just such a journey. His name was Father Pellegrino Maria Ernetti. He was a priest and scientist and musicologist, one of the world's leading authorities on archaic music. He claimed to have yoked the insights of modern physics to the ancient occult knowledge of the astral planes to build, in secret, a time machine--the chronovisor. He asserted that, using the chronovisor as his eyes and ears, he had watched Christ dying on the cross and attended a performance of a now-lost tragedy, Thyestes, by the father of Latin poetry, Quintus Ennius, in Rome in 169 B.C.

Many have disputed Father Ernetti's claims, regarding which the Benedictine monk fell strangely silent in the last decade of his life. They say this distinguished scientist-priest was not telling the truth. But why would the brilliant Father Pellegrino Ernetti, so accomplished in other fields that his counsel was sought all over Europe, be driven to such a fabrication?

This American edition of Father Ernetti's Chronovisor, translated from the German, contains the first translation ever out of Latin of the text of Thyestes which Father Ernetti claimed to have brought back with him using the chronovisor. It, and other newly-discovered documents, contain astonishing revelations. ...

There's a post about the chronovisor in this interesting blog - Iconic Photos

Some tidbits from that blog link (which still works) ...

The image purported to be of Jesus ...

​

A bit about the controversy surrounding this image ...

This photo (above) appeared in the May 2, 1972 issue of La Domenica del Corriere. However, a near-identical (though mirrored left to right) photograph of a wood carving by the sculptor Cullot Valera, turned up, casting doubt upon Ernetti’s statement. His defenders insisted that the machine couldn’t take close-ups photos, but only general ones and that it wasn’t possible to obtain an image that was so precise.

... And finally this claim, which I'm not sure I'd seen anywhere else ...

On his deathbed had Ernetti confessed that he had written the text of the play himself, and that the “photo” of Christ was indeed a “lie”. However, Ernetti maintained that the machine was workable.

There's a good article in the new FT that goes into depth about this. It details the adventures of Father Pellegrino Ernetti, and his forays into time with such a device. He allegedly saw images of Mussolini from wartime Italy, images of Napoleon, and even further back in Ancient Rome, where he claims to have captured images of Jesus. I suppose camera isn't the right way to describe it, as he reckons to have caught sights and sounds as well.

I found an article here
http://www.rexresearch.com/time/time.htm
but there's loads more links if you Google away with keywords like Ernetti, time, camera etc, you get the jist.

It's interesting because many people hypothesise that ghosts are electromagentic imprints which are left in buildings or areas, and I wonder if Enretti (if it's true) managed to find a way of capturing these long lost energies. It would certainly seem feasible to tap into all the electromagnetic jiggery that envelopes the Earth, after all, all those standing stones on ley lines can't have been there for nothing.. maybe they were electromagnetic storage or distribution nodes?

Anyway. Snowman out!

thanks for the link , interesting read

Hmm.. probably not. The future hasn't happened yet, but the past has, so you could pick up the remnants. But this idea is kind of freaky in a way. If someone from the future was looking back at US now, does that mean that we're already remnants who don't realise? Maybe this is how it feels to be ghost!

hmmmmm , interesting ?

I was musing on this story today and I knew there would be a thread somewhere on here about it

It's a staple of many a pulp mystery book over the years, but it has the feel of a made up story to me, perhaps a joke that went too far, like the rest of them I would love it to true, has anyone done a deep dive into this one?
