Episode Hildegard of Bingen - Prophetess, Composer, Mystic
How did a cloistered, twelfth century nun become a visionary, composer, healer, preacher, and adviser to popes and emperors?
Despite having visions from childhood - even in the womb, she claimed - Hildegard of Bingen waited until the age of 42 when she heard a divine command to “write what you see and hear”, a moment that launched one of the most remarkable careers of the medieval world, including as creator of the most distinctive surviving sacred music of the Middle Ages.
Dr. Eleanor Janega is joined by Dr Hetta Howes, to explore the extraordinary life, dazzling theology, and legacy of Hildegard.
