Subject: treatment of war wounds

Diana Wright, in a "Muse" posting, asked for a book on the
ancient treatment of war wounds.  Try Guido Majno's "The
Healing Hand: Man and the Wound in the Ancient World"
(Harvard Univ. Press, 1975).  It has fascinating information
and is lavishly illustrated.  But I have no idea how it is
regarded by specialists in ancient medicine.  When the book
appeared, Majno was chair of the Dept. of Pathology at
the Univ. of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester.
