{"DOI":"10.25592/uhhfdm.335","abstract":"<p>In this article, we provide an update on the progress of the AHRC-funded Syriac Galen Palimpsest Project, which is directed by Peter E. Pormann at the University of Manchester. We also present a newly identified folio from Book 3 of Galen&rsquo;s On Simple Drugs&mdash;a book hitherto not known to be represented in the manuscript. We offer some preliminary conclusions about the original medical manuscript&rsquo;s codicological structure, particularly the composition of its quires and the sequence of hair and flesh sides of parchment. Finally, we outline our approach to analysing the undertext&rsquo;s palaeography, with reference to the methodology devised by Ayda Kaplan.</p>","author":[{"family":"Afif, Naima"},{"family":"Bhayro, Siam"},{"family":"Pormann, Peter E."},{"family":"Sellers, William I."},{"family":"Smelova, Natalia"}],"container_title":"Comparative Oriental Manuscript Studies Bulletin","id":"335","issue":"1-2","issued":{"date-parts":[[2016,12,14]]},"page":"5-16","title":"The Syriac Galen Palimpsest: Research Methods and Latest Discoveries","type":"article-journal","volume":"2"}
