Today we remember and honor one of the great mystics of the Church, Hildegard of Bingen. Mystics are those who have been gifted with an extraordinary ability to see. They often see and perceive things others do not or cannot see.
Twelfth-century Rhineland mystic Hildegard von Bingen records her exquisite encounter with divinity, producing a magnificent fusion of divine inspiration and human intellect.
Hildegard of Bingen fought the patriarchy from her cloister.
The earth sustains humanity. It must not be injured; it must not be destroyed. —Hildegard of Bingen
Hildegard of Bingen―visionary, abbess, composer, dramatist, poet and healer―was the brilliant and passionate precursor of many of the great women mystics of the Middle Ages.
Hildegard of Bingen, a Rhineland mystic of the twelfth century, has been called an ideal model of the liberated woman. She was a poet and scientist, painter and musician, healer and abbess, playwright, prophet, preacher and social critic.
This work contains the 26 visions of Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179), who was the first of the great German mystics, as well as a poet and a prophet, a physician and a political moralist.
This unique volume includes a chronology of her life and times, bibliography, select discography, explanatory notes, glossary, and connecting commentary.
