<description descriptionType="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></description>
