Hildegard von Bingen: Briefe - Epistolae (German)
Product information "Hildegard von Bingen: Briefe - Epistolae (German)"
Hildegard of Bingen left behind an extensive correspondence. Her 390 letters are an important part of her proclamation of faith and bear witness to fearless directness, admonishing care, refreshingly humorous magnanimity, personal commitment and far-reaching ecclesiastical-political and social influence. Even more than from her other writings, one can gather from the letters that Hildegard appeared with a prophetic sense of mission and spoke powerfully to the conscience of her contemporaries as the "trumpet of God". Furthermore, the letters show that Hildegard was already a recognized authority during her lifetime. Countless people, popes, emperors, princes and abbots, but also simple farmers, priests and religious sought and found advice and help from her. Her opinion was sought, even though it was all too often uncomfortable and by no means always flattering.
