rosewater Explanation: aqua rosacea egg (white) and rosewater as wound dressing: http://www.bmj.com/cgi/reprint/332/7540/532.pdf Two centuries later, the eminent surgeon Ambroise Paré (1510-1590) rejected boiling oil as a primary dressing after amputation, preferring a mixture of oil of turpentine, rosewater, and egg. http://www.ewma.org/pdf/spring03/B02-WasItArtOrScience.pdf William of Saliceto William of Saliceto (1210-1280) was a contemporary of Theodoric and also taught surgery at the University of Bologna before moving to Verona. Like Hugh and Theodoric he opposed the doctrine of laudable pus and recommended simple dressings such as egg white and rose water (Singer & Underwood, 1962). I'm glad we got that sorted out :-) |
