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>","doi":"10.25592/uhhfdm.335","journal":{"issue":"1-2","pages":"5-16","title":"Comparative Oriental Manuscript Studies Bulletin","volume":"2"},"keywords":["Manuscript Studies","Syriac Studies","Galen","On Simple Drugs","Palimpsest"],"license":{"id":"CC-BY-4.0"},"publication_date":"2016-12-14","related_identifiers":[{"identifier":"10.25592/uhhfdm.334","relation":"isVersionOf","scheme":"doi"}],"relations":{"version":[{"count":1,"index":0,"is_last":true,"last_child":{"pid_type":"recid","pid_value":"335"},"parent":{"pid_type":"recid","pid_value":"334"}}]},"resource_type":{"subtype":"article","title":"Journal article","type":"publication"},"title":"The Syriac Galen Palimpsest: Research Methods and Latest Discoveries"},"owners":[42],"revision":2,"updated":"2019-08-28T11:20:41.344650+00:00"}
