Description

This volume offers a comprehensive view of Hildegard of Bingen's achievements, her intellectual background and her reception in the later Middle Ages. It brings together, with full documentation, the contributions of an international group of medievalists, from diverse disciplines, to the colloquium held at the Warburg Institute on 17-18 November 1995. The book both pays tribute to the 9th centenary of Hildegard's birth (1098) and complements Hans Liebeschutz's study of Hildegard, which the Warburg Library in Hamburg, published in 1930.
