These translations of [Hildegard of Bingen's] spiritual and medical writing, her poetry and letters, are a remarkable contribution to the study of early women writers.--Monica Furlong, author of Merton: A Biography and Visions and Longings: Medieval Women Mystics

Visionary, mystic, poet, musician, naturalist, healer, theologian-the Rhineland nun Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) was a Renaissance woman long before there was a Renaissance. This is the first book in English to offer a representative selection of writings from all of her amazing range of work.

Hildegard wrote many volumes on subjects from mystical vision to sexuality, from theology to natural medicine--in letters, treatises, poetry, and songs--all in an age when few women wrote more than an occasional letter. She was a woman of extraordinary influence whose work not only surpassed that of her male contemporaries in its range, but also outshone them in visionary beauty and intellectual power. This collection includes a brief biography of Hildegard, and selections from the following works:

- Scivias (literally, know the ways), the record of Hildegard's visions and her commentary on them
