"Surgical Instruments in Greek and Roman Times" by John Stewart Milne is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century." This work focuses on the various surgical instruments utilized by ancient Greek and Roman surgeons, exploring how these tools influenced medical practices of the time. It aims to reconstruct the ancient surgical armamentarium based on archaeological discoveries and literary references. "The opening of the book establishes the premise that a clear understanding of surgical operations, whether ancient or modern, necessitates knowledge of the instruments employed." The author references classical texts, noting how many surgical writings remain obscure due to the lack of corresponding knowledge about the instruments mentioned. Milne emphasizes the inadequacy of prior literature on this topic and the wealth of archaeological finds available, which enable a systematic review and reconstruction of historical surgical tools. He delineates his methodology for organizing the data collected while discussing the contributions of notable ancient medical authors to the understanding of surgical instruments.
