Ongoing Galen Studies
In 166r-171v, the right column corresponds to BL Add 14661 72v (and to the Greek text in Khn XII 148-150) [identification made on the basis of the phrase ,they are drying in the second degree , legible in the gutter region, which belongs in the first of the passages devoted to lentils; a banal enough phrase, certainly, but one that I happened to have typed recently in working on the comparative material for the lentil section of unayns compilation]. Of these two leaves, I considered the first (166r-171v) to be, for our November work meeting: the text contained in the left column corresponds to a part of BL Add 14661 that is missing. I had forgotten that there was a lacuna in BL Add 14661 between fol. 72v and 73r (Wright 1872, p. 1187 [ the last (quire) being imperfect, owing to the loss of two leaves after fol. 72]; Merx 1885, p. 301 [Hier tritt ein Lcke im Text ein, der Fol. 73a mit weiter geht]). The left column of this leaf contains the first part of the Syriac text from that lacuna.

Scholarly Study Dear Irene, Grigory, Matthias, and Siam,
Mike Toth and Bill Christens-Barry invited Jimmy and me to the BnF yesterday to observe their ultraviolet photography [sic] of a wandering leaf of the Syriac Galen Palimpsest that Grigory had tracked down last year.
They sent us the results this morning; one passage is particularly legible (shown here): its the first line of column A of the undertext of the leaf, and it reads, quite clearly:
The power/faculty of that elemental earth "
perhaps (but not certainly) followed in the second line by
which is
The first line is specific enough to be useful for a word search.
This particular sequence of words is not found in BL Add 14661, so the BnF leaf probably does not belong to Books VI-VIII of the Simples.
Given the theoretical nature of the topic, it is plausible that it comes from Books I-V.

Its likely to be a central text once its fully deciphered, said Dr. Pormann of the University of Manchester. We might
discover things we really cant dream of yet.
