Secrets of God: Writings of Hildegard of Bingen by Hildegard of Bingen

This collection introduces the remarkable range of Hildegard of Bingen’s writing through selections from her visions, theology, natural history, medicine, songs, poetry, and letters. A brief biography places the twelfth-century Benedictine visionary in context.

Selected and translated by Sabina Flanagan, the anthology includes material from Scivias, The Book of Divine Works, and other major works. Readers interested in Christian mysticism and medieval women’s thought can explore Hildegard’s varied concerns without treating her historical remedies as modern medical guidance. ISBN: 9781570621642.
