This book offers a complete bibliographical presentation of Syriac authors and texts in the domain of Syriac asceticism and mysticism. It also includes Greek texts that were translated into Syriac and profoundly influenced the spiritual life of Christians in the Near and Middle East. Among the Syrian Churches ascetic and mystical literature was flourishing over the centuries and witnesses the intensity of their religious life. It also enriched the spirituality of other Christian traditions. Therefore, the bibliography also indicates Medieval translations of Syriac texts into other languages. The list of authors and texts ranges from Ps.-Clement of Rome and Antony the Great to the Chaldean Patriarch Joseph II (1696-1713/4). Editions (if available), translations and secondary literature are arranged in chronological order. Additionally, subject sections present surveys and introductions to the topic as well as literature about Syriac proto-monasticism, monastic anthologies, mystical experience and Messalianism in the Syriac tradition. The introduction of the book highlights the importance and originality of the Syriac ascetic and mystical literature.

The study of palimpsest manuscripts has a long tradition and has led to spectacular discoveries of new texts or new text versions. Recent decades have seen the development of advanced nondestructive methods of multispectral imaging and computer-based image processing. The focus of such research have been individual manuscripts, such as the Archimedes palimpsest that was studied in Baltimore, or the Dexippus fragments in Vienna. The Sinai Palimpsests Project broke new ground by studying for the first time a collection of palimpsest manuscripts that have been preserved for centuries in the library of the Monastery of Saint Catherine in the Sinai (Egypt). The erased layers preserve texts in eleven languages of the Christian Orient. An international team of scholars has identified numerous new texts or versions of texts, often in very early scripts. This volume has its origin in a conference that was held in Vienna in 2018, where these results of the Sinai Palimpsests Project were presented, along with the advances in image capture and image processing that have made them possible. Additional contributions about current projects in the study of palimpsests, also including Jewish and Muslim text traditions, place the study of palimpsest manuscripts within the larger context of the cultural history of the middle ages. The 30 contributions in this volume thus offer a cross-section, including the most recent technologies, of the current state of research in palimpsest studies. Die Erforschung von Palimpsesthandschriften hat eine lange Forschungstradition und führte zu spektakulären Neufunden an bisher unbekannten Texten oder Textversionen. In den letzten Jahrzehnten wurden neue Methoden der Multispektralphotographie und der computergestützten Bildanalyse entwickelt, um die ursprünglichen Textschichten zerstörungsfrei wieder lesbar zu machen. Bislang konzentrierte sich die Forschung allerdings auf einzelne Handschriften, z. B. auf den Archimedes-Palimpsest, der in Baltimore eingehend erforscht wurde, oder auf den Dexippos-Fragmenten in Wien. Mit dem Sinai Palimpsests Project wurde erstmals eine Sammlung von palimpsestierten Handschriften, die seit Jahrhunderten in der Bibliothek des Katharinenklosters im Sinai (Ägypten) aufbewahrt wurden, untersucht. In den ausradierten Schichten sind Texte in elf Sprachen des christlichen Orients vertreten. Ein internationales Forscherteam hat zahlreiche neue Texte und Textversionen, häufig in sehr frühen Schriften, identifiziert. Dieser Band geht auf eine 2018 in Wien abgehaltene internationale Konferenz zurück, bei der die Ergebnisse des Sinai Palimpsests Projects präsentiert wurden. Ebenso werden die Fortschritte in Aufnahmetechnik und Bildbearbeitung vorgestellt, auf denen diese Ergebnisse beruhen. Weitere Beiträge zu aktuellen Projekten der Palimpsestforschung, die auch jüdische und islamische Texttraditionen berücksichtigen, stellen die Erforschung von Palimpsesthandschriften in den breiteren Kontext der Kulturgeschichte des Mittelalters. Mit 30 Beiträgen bietet der Band somit einen Querschnitt des aktuellen Forschungsstands einschließlich der neuesten technischen Methoden in der Erforschung von Palimpsesthandschriften.

The Hippocratic Epidemics and Galen’s Commentary on them constitute milestones in the development of clinical medicine. But they also illustrate the rich exegetical traditions that existed in the post-classical Greek world. The present volume investigates these texts from various and diverse vantage points: textual criticism; Greek philology; knowledge transfer through translations; and medical history. Especially the Syriac and Arabic traditions of the Epidemics come under scrutiny.
