The Lingua Ignota, "brought forth" by the twelfth-century German
nun Hildegard of Bingen, provides 1012 neologisms for praise of
Church and new expression of the things of her world. Noting her
visionary metaphors, her music, and various medieval linguistic
philosophies, Higley examines how the "Unknown Language" makes arid
signifiers green again. This text, however, is too often seen in
too narrow a context: glossolalia, angelic language, secret code.
Higley provides an edition and English translation of its glosses
in the Riesencodex (with assistance from the Berlin MS) , but also
places it within a history of imaginary language making from
medieval times to the most contemporary projects in efforts to
uncover this woman s bold involvement in an intellectual and
creative endeavor that spans centuries.
