Abstract

This article presents an update on the collaborative research recently devoted to the spectral imaging, reading, and study of the so-called “Syriac Galen Palimpsest” (or “SGP”), of which the undertext contains a difficult-to-read but important witness to an early (6th-century) Syriac translation of Galen’s treatise On simple drugs by Sergius of Rēš 'Aynā. Important recent developments include a large number of new bifolia identifications, many of which were made possible thanks to collaboration between two on-going European projects: the ERC “Floriental” project at the CNRS (UMR 8167 Orient & Méditerranée) in Paris, and the AHRC project “Syriac Galen Palimpsest” at the University of Manchester.
