Full textHildegard von Bingen, religious Benedictine woman who lived in the twelfth century, claimed to have written her first book, the Scivias, under a prophetic call, that came to her in a vision. According to Hildegard, her visions had been with her since her childhood, and in them she saw a Living Light and received divine messages. The Scivias which, according to Hildegard, consisted of the transcription of these messages, was a work with teachings in doctrinal orthodoxy. The prophetic character of the book, allied to its orthodoxy, guaranteed it with acceptation in the ecclesiastical environment and gave to Hildegard the reputation of a prophetess. Due to her fame as prophetess, people began to search Hildegard as a spiritual oracle, as a spiritual counsellor in different subjects. Monks, abbots, abbesses, bishops and emperors consulted Hildegard in search of admonition, advice, consolation and even solution for their problems. The vast correspondence of Hildegard bears witness to this fact. In this study, we try to understand, through the analysis of a mythical account included in the Scivias and of part of her correspondence, in what ways prophecy and orthodoxy, as expressions of Hildegards spirituality, were manifested in her work.

Full textHildegard is contextualized within the politico-socio-intellectual parameters of the twelfth century in general and within convent life in particular. Events are chronicled to examine how she reconstructed her weaknesses--gender and infirmity--using them to construct knowledge, and to demonstrate how she used that knowledge to educate by writing, teaching and preaching. The source of Hildegard's knowledge is analysed in an attempt to determine whether it is divinely inspired, neurologically based, or derived from secondary religious and secular writings. Whatever the source, Hildegard herself refused to grant the name of "Knowledge" to any insight unless it came to her in the heavenly voice via the "Living Light." The study culminates with a brief discussion on the questions asked in the introduction regarding research in the history of education.

Full textThe present work aims to illuminate the life of St. Hildegard of Bingen, canonized and proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 2012. This Benedictine nun was in mid twelfth century, writer, composer, doctor, abbess, mystic and prophet. Benedict XVI, on the Apostolic Letter in which proclaims Hildegard doctor of the Church says:"(...) the attribution of the title of Doctor of the Universal Church to Hildegard of Bingen has great significance for today’s world and an extraordinary importance for women." In this sense, besides proposing the knowledge of this extraordinary woman, who is still little studied in Brazil, we attempt to deepen in which sense her life and work can offer contributions to the reflections and challenges of the Church and the world at the present times. For this purpose, we will use bibliographic research, anchoring us in the rich material left by Hildegard and also by many researchers who have studied her with great interest in many countries. In the first chapter, we intend to make a historical and social analysis of the surrounding environment of Hildegard. Secondly, we follow through the activities and interests of the nun, seeing her by various prisms: prophecy, leadership, arts, sciences, and the ramifications of them in each one of the many occupations that she developed. Finally, we will give an especial attention to the metaphors and concepts that she used about the Trinity and the Holy Spirit, aiming to approach her concept of Viriditas or Greenness, which designates the creative and productive power of God, and used by her in a poetic and original way.
O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de lançar luz sobre a vida de Santa Hildegarda de Bingen, canonizada e proclamada doutora da Igreja em 2012. Esta monja beneditina foi, em pleno século XII, escritora, compositora, médica, abadessa, mística e profetisa. Bento XVI, na Carta Apostólica em que a proclama doutora da Igreja afirma: “(...) a atribuição do título de Doutor da Igreja universal a Hildegarda de Bingen tem um grande significado para o mundo de hoje e uma extraordinária importância para as mulheres.” Nesse sentido, além propormos o conhecimento da figura desta extraordinária mulher, ainda pouco estudada no Brasil, intentamos aprofundar em que sentido sua vida e sua obra podem oferecer contribuições para as reflexões e desafios da Igreja e do mundo no atual momento. Para tanto, nos utilizaremos da pesquisa bibliográfica, ancorando-nos no rico material deixado por Hildegarda e também pelo material de muitos pesquisadores que vêm estudando-a com grande interesse em diversos países. No primeiro capítulo pretendemos fazer uma análise histórica e social do ambiente circundante de Hildegarda. Num segundo momento, iremos nos deter nas atividades e interesses da monja, enfocando-a sob os diversos prismas: profecia, liderança, artes, ciências, e os desdobramentos de cada um deles nas muitas ocupações a que se dedicou. Por fim, daremos especial atenção as metáforas e conceitos que emprega para pensar a Trindade e o Espírito Santo, com vistas a nos aproximarmos do seu conceito de Viriditas ou Viridez, designativo da força criativa e fecunda de Deus, e usado por ela de modo original e poético.

Full textThis thesis deals with the history of science, particularly with the history of medecine. It's about the scientific work of hildegard of bingen (1098-1179), a benedictine german abbess known as a visionary holy woman, to whom two medical writings, called physica and causae et curae, are attributed. It has been proved that the saint had actually composed a scientific work; the question was, which texts she had really written. Consequently this thesis tries to trace back the history of hildegard's medical work, based upon the study and comparison of different extant manuscripts : several passages from an important manuscript still unpublished, kept in florence, are notably edited. After outlining the work, its originality had to be assessed : first of all, it's highly remarkable that a woman living in the middle ages could have written scientific texts, and a whole chapter deals with the female condition of the author. Hildegard is then related not only to the other women of her time, but also to the rest of her predecessors in the subject: chapter vi is dedicated to the research of hildegard's founts, which didn't say a word about the origin of her knowledge. Though she found inspiration from lots of forerunners, we owe her a great deal of innovations and this thesis ends in the peculiarity of her vision of nature. The third and last volume of this thesis contains appendixes : 4 unpublished fragments of the physica can be found there, followed by two concordances tables : the first one compares the editio princeps of the physica, based

Full textThe purpose of this work is to evolve from the life and works of Hildegarde von bingen the eschatological themes. The introduction presents saint Hildegarde while stressing the importance of the visionnary experience, which is permanent and associated to divine light and voice. In this exceptionnal state Hildegarde wrote her works de aling with all matters (correlation, natural sciences, medicine, hagiography, music). Her texts are an amazing mixture of archaisms and innovations. Eschatological themes and figures are studied. While antechrist is presented in a classical way, insisting on this cosmical and non-temporal aspect, the end of the world, of which Hildegarde is contemporary thanks to the vision, is treated differently. Its characteristics are a destruction of the old world and a total renewing, a return to the state of things before the original sin. Eschatology cannot be separate from a geography of the world beyond where the stress is put on purgatory places. The abbess seems to have been the inventor of the word "purgatory", or at least one of the first to use it. Eschatology is linked to a vision of the world. The central axis of the saint's life and thoughts is the prophecy which function is to link us with us with the origins of creation. .

Full textThe main objective of this PhD Thesis is to trace the continuities and breaks shaping Hildegard of Bingen’s representations of the universe, by means of a descriptive, interpretative and comparative analysis of the cosmological scheme in her extensive corpus. The study is guided by two premises and three hypotheses. The first premise is the fact that Hildegard sees the material and temporal universe as a reality created by God, in which the history of salvation unfolds. The second premise is that her discourse is not specifically philosophical (and does not claim to be so), but articulates various fields of knowledge in giving form to an allegorical and visionary narrative in which she reflects on philosophical issues from her own unique perspective. It is from this starting point that the research hypotheses are developed. The first of these affirms that Hildegard’s creation theology is based on an underlying philosophy of nature, i.e. that it is underpinned by an implicit foundation of natural philosophy which moulds the allegorical descriptions of Hildegard’s universe; and that this substratum has a complete meaning in itself (although she establishes strong links between cosmology, theology and anthropology). This discourse on nature is explicit in the Physica and would later be developed further in the treatise Beate Hildegardis Cause et cure (s. XIII). It is of particular note that this type of discourse is latent in all of Hildegard’s writings on the universe. The second hypothesis clarifies how her cosmological ideas evolve throughout her work, and is grounded in a comparative analysis of the philosophical background to her cosmic “visions,” paying special attention to the Sciuias and the Liber diuinorum operum. This detailed analysis of the modifications she makes to her design enables us conceptually to measure the transfiguration of the universe she describes. This study, then, is not only a systematic analysis of the cosmological theories contained in the two books mentioned above (since this would yield only one –fictional– view of the universe), but is also complemented by a historical-biographical dimension. Finally, the third hypothesis investigates, more specifically, the influence of Timaeic literature on the Liber diuinorum operum, and the decisive role played by both Platonic and Stoic natural philosophy in the reshaping of Hildegard’s imago mundi. The most important result of the Thesis is to contribute to locating Hildegard of Bingen’s views on nature within the spectrum of philosophical-scientific renovation beginning to emerge during the first half of the 12th century.

This thesis is about how I, Helga Wang, was called by God to start and to painstakingly cultivate a botanical and medicinal garden according to the vision of natural medicine and cures of Saint Hildegard, my patroness. In this thesis I also recorded how the reflections I got from translating Saint Hildegard’s works into Chinese helped me improve my garden. This dissertation begins with a detailed description of Saint Hildegard’s life stories and her achievements in her interdisciplinary studies. The concept and practice of natural medicine and cures by this multi-talented heroine of the Middle Age is the central focus of this work. At the ending part I also recorded how I reinforced the design and arrangement of my garden, which located on a mountain in Long-tan, Taoyuan, Taiwan, with historical background and some theological texts. At the very end of the thesis, I, as a psychologist, also depicted how the writing of this work is also the process of my fears conquered, which surprisingly uncovered a hidden truth in my life.

One new trend of music research emerged in the late twentieth century that the gender studies in the humanities and social science have made the women composers and their works gradually become significant areas of research within musicology, in which the women musicians and their contributions had long been restrained and even ignored. Inspired by feminist studies since 1980s, some enthusiastic musicologists have devoted themselves to the research of women musicians and their contributions in the western music history, and the renowned female musician Hildegard von Bingen ( 1098–1179 ) became one of the most representative figures in the medieval time. Besides the biographical approach of Hildegard, this thesis has thoroughly analyzed two of her enormous compositions, Ordo Virtutum, a liturgical drama, and an anthology of her music compositions, Symphonia Armonie Celestium Revelationum. The result is evident that her underlying ideas as a female composer resided in both works, no matter the plot and characters ( especially the female roles ) in the former one, or the melody, structure and form of the latter one. Thus, Hildegard's female point of view became the quintessential element of her music and drama concurrently with her visionary life and passion to God.
