HILDEGARD OF BINGEN (Garland Library of Medieval Literature)

The first complete modern English translation of a work by the 12th-century German mystic, in which she describes her visions of the various virtues and the corresponding sins, and the roles of repentance in reestablishing a union with God. Renders the expressive but difficult Latin into readable English for scholars of her ideas, rather than of her language. No index. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
