Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) was an extraordinary woman living in the Rhineland valley during most of the twelfth century. Besides being the abbess of a large and influential Benedictine abbey, she was a prominent preacher, healer, scientist and artist. She was, also, a composer and theologian, writing nine books on theology, medicine, science and physiology, as well as 70 poems and an opera. At the age of 42, she began to have visions; these were captured as 36 illuminations - 24 of which are recorded in this book along with her commentaries on them. She, also, wrote a text describing these visions entitled Scivias (Know the Ways), now published as HILDEGARD OF BINGEN'S MYSTICAL VISIONS. Virtually unknown for more than 800 years in Western history, Hildegard was featured as one of the women in Judy Chicago's Dinner Party in the early 1980s. In addition to her mystical teachings, Hildegard's music has been performed and recorded for a new and growing audience.
