The first translation into English of the complete correspondence
of the remarkable twelfth-century Benedictine abbess Hildegard of
Bingen (1098-1179), this study consists of nearly four hundred
letters, in four projected volumes. Addressed to some of the most
notable people of the day, as well as to some of humble status, the
correspondence reveals the saint in ways her more famous works
leave obscure: as determined reformer, as castigating seer, as
theoretical musician, as patient adviser, as exorcist. Sometimes
diffident and restrained, sometimes thunderously imperious, her
letters are indispensable to understanding fully this luminary of
medieval philosophy, poetry, and music. In addition, they provide a
fascinating glimpse at life in tumultuous twelfth-century Germany,
beset with schism and political unrest. This first volume includes
ninety letters to the highest ranking prelates in Hildegard's
world--popes, archbishops, and bishops. Three following volumes
will be divided according to the rank of the addressees.
