A unique glimpse into the mind of the 12-century visionaryHildegardofBingenthrough her"creative and insightful"writings on medicine, spirituality, and more (Booklist)Visionary, mystic, poet, musician, naturalist, healer, theologian-the Rhineland nunHildegardofBingen(1098-1179) was a Renaissance woman longbefore there was a Renaissance. This is the first book in English to offer a representative selection of writings from all of her amazing range of work.
Hildegardwrote many volumes on subjects from mystical vision to sexuality, from theology to natural medicine-in letters, treatises, poetry, and songs-all in an age when few women wrote more than an occasional letter.
