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>","headline":"The Syriac Galen Palimpsest: Research Methods and Latest Discoveries","identifier":"http://doi.org/10.25592/uhhfdm.335","image":"https://zenodo.org/static/img/logos/zenodo-gradient-round.svg","keywords":["Manuscript Studies","Syriac Studies","Galen","On Simple Drugs","Palimpsest"],"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","name":"The Syriac Galen Palimpsest: Research Methods and Latest Discoveries","url":"https://www.fdr.uni-hamburg.de/record/335"}
