This is the first book in English to offer a representative selection of writings from all of her amazing range of work.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e     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:   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   •  Scivias (literally, \"know the ways\"), the record of Hildegard's visions and her commentary on them  \u003cbr\u003e   •  The Book of Life's Merits,  visionary work  \u003cbr\u003e   •  The Book of Divine Works,  a work of cosmology and anthropology  \u003cbr\u003e   •  Natural History,  a record of plants, animals, and minerals, translated here into English for the first time  \u003cbr\u003e   •  Causes and Cures,  a compendium of her writing on natural medicine  \u003cbr\u003e   •  Symphonia, her songs and poetry  \u003cbr\u003e   •  Biographical works  \u003cbr\u003e   •  Selected letters\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781570621642\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWritings of Hildegard of Bingen\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9781570621642","offer_id":58965078933829,"sku":"9781570621642","price":21.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/73461_f6be46bc-2566-4815-8ea5-e9d2535d4e59.jpg?v=1787458426","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/secrets-of-god-von-hildegard-of-bingen","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
