Summary

Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) is increasingly recognized as one of the most noteworthy and interesting theologians of the Middle Ages. Translated here for the first time from Latin into English, Hildegard's Homilies on the Gospels is essential for comprehending this twelfth-century mystic's coherent theological vision. It establishes her as the only known female systematic exegete of the Middle Ages.
