Galen: Simple Drugs in Syriac Book 9 [mellel]

The Graeco-Arabic translation movement has been well studied, but Syriac, the vital connection between these two languages, is often ignored. This is partly the result of a lack of surviving Syriac texts. One such text, a sixth-century translation of Galen's On Simple Drugs by Sergius of Rēš ʿAynā, exists in the undertext of an eleventh-century liturgical work, known as the Syriac Galen Palimpsest. This palimpsest contains part of this translation. By using pioneering philological and imaging techniques, the team deciphered most of the undertext of books 6–9 and collated it with other direct and indirect witnesses. We present our digital critical edition here for the first time.希腊-阿拉伯翻译运动已有诸多深入研究，但作为希腊语与阿拉伯语之间至关重要纽带的叙利亚语（Syriac）却常被忽视。这一现状在一定程度上源于留存至今的叙利亚语文本匮乏。其中一部留存文本为雷什艾纳的塞尔吉乌斯于六世纪翻译的盖伦（Galen）《简易药物论》（On Simple Drugs）叙利亚语译本，该译本现存于一部被称为《盖伦叙利亚语重写本（palimpsest）》的十一世纪礼拜仪式典籍的下层文本中。该重写本仅存该译本的部分内容。研究团队借助前沿语文学与成像技术，破译了该书第6至9卷的大部分下层文本，并将其与其他直接、间接见证抄本进行了校勘。我们在此首次公开我们的数字化批判性校勘本。
