    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;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&amp;rsquo;s On Simple Drugs&amp;mdash;a book hitherto not known to be represented in the manuscript. We offer some preliminary conclusions about the original medical manuscript&amp;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&amp;rsquo;s palaeography, with reference to the methodology devised by Ayda Kaplan.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
