Hildegard of Bingen: Woman of Vision
ABOUT THIS BOOK:
Hildegard of Bingen, who lived nine hundred years ago, was a remarkable woman--a writer, healer, diplomat, traveling preacher, philosopher, administrator, composer and naturalist--all a time when most women did few of these things. Today, scholars and historians study her writings, and musicologists study and perform her music. Centuries later, her achievements still inspire us.
In this biography, the first in English for young readers, explore Hildegard's life though her words and those of her contemporaries, the people who wrote to her and about her. Perform one of her songs. Recreate one of her remedies. See the places she lived, the alphabet she invented, and experience life from a twelfth-century perspective.
