Description
Hildegard von Bingen (1098–1179) is one of the most remarkable women of all time. Experiencing visions from age five, she started recording them in her forties. She wrote music of striking originality, two books on medicine, and invented a language. She corresponded with leading figures of her time—kings, popes, and saints. Graham explore every aspect of Hildegard’s accomplishments and examines the remarkable paintings of her visions made under her supervision.
