Description

This mystical work by Hildegarde de Bingen, forgotten for too long, witnesses to a rarely-equalled poetic power and a spiritual depth. The final writing of the German twelfth-century saint, contemporary of the Crusades, Bernard de Clairvaux and Emperor Barbarossa replies to the confusion of her century - and of ours. A true Christian prophet, she presents the dazzling and coherent challenge of the hierarchy of God, nature and man in ten grandiose visions. Her divine cosmologies, filled with powerful imagery, are anchored in a rigorous theology which in her lifetime made Hildegarde de Bingen a living model of holiness and an authority in matters of faith, and continues to do so today.
