The treatises open Chrestou's edition: vol. 1 is 'Logoi apodeiktikoi, antepigraphai, epistolai pros Barlaam kai Akindynon' (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Gregoriou%20tou%20Palama%20Syngrammata%20Chrestou&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 HOLLIS 'Palamas demonstrative treatises Apodictic' returns 0 records (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Palamas%20demonstrative%20treatises%20Apodictic&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 A Crossref query returns only studies of their Serbian Church-Slavonic translation - 'Aristotelian scholia in the Serbian Church-Slavonic translation of Gregory Palamas' Apodictic treatises on the procession of the Holy Spirit' (Glasnik Etnografskog instituta, 2024) and a 2025 follow-up - plus 'The Order (taxis) of Persons of the Holy Trinity in Apodictic Treatises of Gregory Palamas' (Philotheos, 2012).

Scanned witnesses

Scan search: no scan located. No scan located, and the usual Migne route is closed: PG 150 and PG 151 print Palamas but not this work. Verified by full-text grep of both text layers (150_djvu.txt and 151_djvu.txt, HTTP 200): no 'ἀποδεικτικ-', 'ἀποδειχτικ-' or 'demonstrativ-' heading, and the single 'ἐκπορεύσεως' hit in PG 150 (offset 2,217,915) sits inside Migne's 'Operum argumenta ex codd. Coislin.', i.e. a catalogue of manuscript contents, not the printed text. That catalogue is nevertheless the one concrete witness trail: it lists 'λόγος ἀποδεικτικὸς πρῶτος ... Fol. 15' and 'λόγος δεύτερος περὶ τῆς ἐκπορεύσεως ... Fol. 55 verso' as contents of Paris, BnF, Coislin 118 ('codex CXVIII, qui primus tomus inscribitur Operum Gregorii'). That shelfmark could not be verified digitally: BnF Archives et manuscrits 403, Gallica 403 (Cloudflare), BnF SRU HTTP 200 but no manuscript record for Palamas (only print records, including the Larchet French translation 'Traités apodictiques sur la procession du Saint-Esprit'), DigiVatLib search 403 with only fonds listings available. The modern edition (Chrestou, ΕΕΠΣ 1962-) is not on IA.
