This book analyses how the three books of visions by Hildegard of
Bingen use the allegorical vision as a form of knowledge. It
describes how the visionary's use of allegory and allegorical
exegesis is linked to theories of cognition, interpretation, and
prophecy. It argues that the form of the allegorical vision is not
just the product of a medieval symbolic mentality, but specific to
Hildegard's position and the major transformations taking place in
the prescholastic intellectual milieu, such as the changing use of
Scripture or the shift from traditional hermeneutics to cognitive
language philosophy. The book shows that Hildegard uses traditional
forms of knowledge - prophecy, the vision, monastic theology,
allegorical hermeneutics - in startlingly innovative ways by
combining them and by revising them for her own time.
