unapi

The Syriac manuscript Mm. 6.29 (15th century), kept at the Cambridge University Library, transmits an epitome of Galen’s On Simple Drugs, books 9-11, under the name of the Graeco-Egyptian alchemist Zosimus (3rd-4th century AD). After summarizing the state of the art in a short introduction, the paper offers the first edition of the Syriac text, with translation and critical notes. Particular attention will be devoted to the comparison with the Greek text and its manuscript tradition.
