About the author

born circa 1098

People revered Saint Hildegard von Bingen, German nun, composer, and a visionary, during her own lifetime; she set her poems to music and also wrote works on medicine and natural history.

People also knew this philosopher, Christian mystic, Benedictine abbess, and polymath as Sibyl of the Rhine. Her fellows elected her as a magistra in 1136; she founded the monasteries of Rupertsberg in 1150 and Eibingen in 1165. The Ordo Virtutum exemplifies early liturgical drama.

Her theological and botanical texts, letters, liturgical songs, and arguably the oldest morality play, well survive; she meanwhile supervised brilliant miniature Illuminations.

[Camila Jiménez · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hermoso tratado sobre el camino de salvación de un Alma en pecado, que se lleva a cabo gracias a la acción de las Virtudes. A través de esta obra, que en español se titula El drama de las Virtudes, Hildegard de Bingen narra el proceso que recorre un Alma desde que reconoce sus pecados hasta que lucha contra ellos, pudiendo finalmente volver a su estado de gracia natural.

Es una lectura luminosa que, sin embargo, requiere de conocimientos previos sobre Hildegard y su obra. Por tal razón la presente edición resulta ideal, en vista de que contiene un ligera introducción y notas de María Esther Ortiz, como acompañamiento más que necesario para obtener una interpretación íntegra.

Tikumiem pretī stājas Velns, kurš vienīgais nevis dzied, bet gan runā vai kliedz - Hildegarde uzskatīja, ka dziedot iespējams tuvoties Dievam, bet Velnam tas ir neiespējami.

Šķiet, bez konteksta šī luga man neko nenozīmētu. Iztēlojoties, ka šo raksta vīziju mocīta sieviete, es redzu tālāk par kristīgo ievirzi. Jauka 30min lasāmvieliņa.


“Tikumi:
Gribam tevi atpakaļ vest,
negribam tevi pamest,
un viss debesu karapulks par tevi līksmo -
tāpēc mums visām jāskan mūzikā.”

I’m not super religious so I acknowledge that this play does not hold the same value to me as others. I think the musical accompaniment definitely enhances the writing of this play and that is Hildegard’s strong point. I love that this is evidence of women artist’s from the past and it definitely establishes a precedent that paved the way for the artists of today.

As usual I am simply delighted that Goodreads, in its wisdom, wants me to rate a 1000 year old morality play on a scale from 1-5. Knowing about my girl Hildegard *almost* makes me wish I didn't give up on Latin after high school (almost).
