2013 Reprint of 1914 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Saint
Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179), also known as Saint Hildegard, and
Sibyl of the Rhine, was a German writer, composer, philosopher,
Christian mystic, Benedictine abbess, visionary and polymath. She
wrote theological, botanical and medicinal texts, as well as
letters, liturgical songs, and poems, while supervising brilliant
miniature illuminations. In addition to her music, Hildegard also
wrote three books of visions, the first of which, her Scivias
("Know the Way"), was completed in 1151. Liber vitae meritorum
("Book of Life's Merits" or "Book of the Rewards of Life") and
Liber divinorum operum ("Book of Divine Works," also known as De
operatione Dei, "On God's Activity") followed. In these volumes,
the last of which was completed when she was about 75, Hildegard
first describes each vision, then interprets them through Biblical
exegesis. Hildegard has also become a figure of reverence within
the contemporary New Age movement, mostly due to her holistic and
natural view of healing, as well as her status as a mystic.
