Book Reviews of Illuminations of Hildegard of Bingen
Book Review: A supurb introduction to western mystical theology.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this book to introduce mystical theology to lay people. It has a feminist hook, so is very timely. The drawings (with commentaries) are also on slides. Hildegard's own commentaries on the drawings are clear and simple, so may be repeated in a running commentary with the presenter's own elaboration. The illuminations are colorful and very engaging to the eye. Creation (a sphere in the illumination) is described by H. as an egg, with feminist commentary. Creation is pictured also as a kite (the four compass points), with a tail connecting to an individual person. Very whimsical. Really great discussion starters!
