项目摘要

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 Resh 'Ayna, exists in the undertext of an eleventh-century liturgical work, known as the Syriac Galen Palimpsest. This palimpsest potentially contains the whole of Sergius' translation, but it has remained for the most part unreadable. Now, using pioneering philological and imaging techniques, Professor Peter E. Pormann and Drs Siam Bhayro and Bill Sellers (in collaboration with other colleagues) have begun to decipher the undertext, and have determined that the palimpsest contains parts - if not all - of books 2, 4, 6, 8, and 9 of On Simple Drugs. This is an important discovery, with great research potential, since until now, the only known surviving Syriac translations of Galen were books 6-8 of On Simple Drugs, contained in a manuscript in the British Library. Furthermore, the Syriac Galen Palimpsest could also contain entirely new text, hitherto unknown, which will only come to light through systematic study of this document. Galen was the dominant medical writer in antiquity, and his system prevailed in Europe until the early modern period. The role of Syriac in the preservation and transmission of Galenic traditions has been discussed, but the true extent of its significance has not been properly ascertained, on account of the Syriac sources remaining largely unpublished. We are proposing to produce the first transcription, translation and analysis of this manuscript, which, initial studies suggest, may be the most significant Syriac medical manuscript thus far discovered. In order to do this, we will develop imaging tools that will allow us to obtain optimum readings of the undertext. These tools will be made available under a Creative Commons license, meaning that any individual or institution wishing to work on other palimpsests will be able to do so at no cost. It is believed that shedding light on this critical stage in medical history will also draw attention to the multiculturalism and inter-faith discourse that made the transmission and improvement of such texts possible.

希腊语-阿拉伯语翻译运动已经得到了很好的研究，但叙利亚语，这两种语言之间的重要联系，往往被忽视。这部分是由于缺乏幸存的叙利亚文本。其中一个文本是6世纪由Resh '艾纳的Sergius翻译的Galen's On Simple Drugs，存在于11世纪的一部礼拜仪式作品的潜台词中，被称为叙利亚语Galen Palimpés。这本重写本可能包含了塞尔吉乌斯的全部译本，但大部分仍然无法阅读。现在，利用先进的语言学和成像技术，彼得E。Pormann和Siam Bhayro博士和Bill Sellers博士（与其他同事合作）已经开始破译潜台词，并确定该重写本包含《论简单药物》第2、4、6、8和9卷的部分内容。这是一个重要的发现，具有很大的研究潜力，因为到目前为止，已知唯一幸存的盖伦的叙利亚语翻译是大英图书馆手稿中的On Simple Drugs的第6-8卷。此外，叙利亚加伦Palimpalm也可以包含全新的文本，迄今未知，这将只有通过系统的研究，这份文件来光。加伦是古代最重要的医学作家，他的体系在欧洲一直盛行到近代早期。叙利亚在保存和传播盖伦传统的作用进行了讨论，但其意义的真正程度还没有得到适当的确定，对叙利亚的来源仍然在很大程度上未出版的帐户。我们建议对这份手稿进行第一次转录、翻译和分析，初步研究表明，这可能是迄今为止发现的最重要的叙利亚医学手稿。为了做到这一点，我们将开发成像工具，使我们能够获得最佳的读数的底层。这些工具将在知识共享许可证下提供，这意味着任何希望在其他palimpsests上工作的个人或机构都可以免费使用。人们相信，阐明医学史上的这一关键阶段也将引起人们对多元文化和宗教间话语的关注，正是这些话语使这些文本的传播和改进成为可能。
