The Letters of Hildegard of Bingen: The Letters of Hildegard of Bingen : Volume I (The Letters of Hildegard of Bingen)

This is the paperback edition of the first of a projected four-volume set, and is the first English translation of the correspondence of one of the most remarkable women of pre-modern times. Consisting of nearly four hundred letters addressed to some of the most notable people of the twelfth century, the correspondence reveals St Hildegard as a determined reformer, castigating seer, theoretical musician, patient adviser, and exorcist.
