This text provides an insight into the life of Hildegard of Bingen, a nun from the age of 18 in medieval Germany. Hildegard was a religious leader, who founded two monasteries, a poet, a celebrated visionary from whom Popes and Emperors lived in fear of receiving a letter, a writer of medical treatises, including the use of a broth made from pounded hamster liver, and a composer. Through her writings, this book presents her views on sex, love and marriage, medicine and music.
