Medievalists still consider her one of the leading mystics, and point to her active spiritual and artistic life in the twelfth century as the finest example of what a woman can achieve. She was praised for her natural gifts, her prophetic charisma, and her dynamic reforming disposition. 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 draws a complex picture of her life and work, as he \"translates\" Hildegard's ideas and her mysterious world of symbols from medieval Latin into contemporary concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heinrich Schipperges\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1558761373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781558761377\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Markus Wiener Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.33h x 6.21w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/12\/1997 pg. 73","brand":"Heinrich Schipperges","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43989259419903,"sku":"9781558761377","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_361dfdc1-91e9-4add-8d46-3b21caf32611.jpg?v=1683298486","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hildegard-of-bingen-heinrich-schipperges-9781558761377","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
