The contemporaries of Hildegard of Bingen called her ""prophetissa
teutonica"", honouring her philosophical writings and
interpretation of the cosmos. Mediaevalists still consider her one
of the leading mystics, and point to her active spiritual and
artistic life in the 12th century as the finest example of what a
woman can achieve. The abbess Hildegard of Bingen was the first
composer to sign her musical works. As a playwright and author, she
witnessed and shaped the time of the Crusades, the literary
minnesang, and political and theological debate. The author of this
text draws a complex picture of her life and work, as he
""translates"" Hildegard's ideas and her mysterious world of
symbols from mediaeval Latin into contemporary concepts. Heinrich
Schipperges delineates this remarkable thinker's view of the human
being as a microcosm of the universe, intricately bound by the
senses to the life of the soul, nature, and God.
