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.

Oliver Sacks spricht von der Visionen Hildegards von Bingen in seinem Buch Halluzinationen. Er sagt, dass ihre Visionen Migräne-Halluzinationen waren. Ich habe das Buch gekauft, um die Visionen zu lesen und mein Deutsch zu verbessern. Trotzdem waren die Visionen langweilig, aber ich habe die Bücher Ursache und Heilungen und Das Buch der Physika gern gelesen. In diesen Büchern spricht Hildegard von der Genesis, den Elementen in der Natur, Krankheiten und ihren Heilungen. Die wissenschaftliche Erklärung der natürlichen Phänomenen von elften Jahrhundert war sehr interessant.
