# Hildegard Von Bingen: In the Heart of God - Hardcover

by **Hildegard Von Bingen** (Artist), **Sara Salvadori** (Editor)

**A full reproduction of the medieval composer and visionary's final theological tract, illuminated shortly after her death**

Between 1142 and 1174, the German mystic, composer and writer Hildegard von Bingen created three visionary books: _Scivias_ (Know the Ways); _Liber Vitae Meritorum_ (Book of the Rewards of Life); and _Liber Divinorum Operum_(Book of Divine Works). This latter work--reproduced in this sumptuous new volume--consists of a sequence of ten scenes that invites human beings to climb the road of _virginitas_ toward the recomposition of their own selves in union with the divine _caritas_.  
The refined miniatures in the Lucca manuscript--reproduced here with a simple key explaining their symbolic significance--were produced about 20 years after Hildegard's death and provide a masterful illustration of the architecture of her vision. The dialogue with the images from her first work, _Scivias_ (published in Skira's _Hildegard von Bingen: A Journey into the Images_) casts light on the unifying design that connects them.  
**Hildegard von Bingen** (1098-1179) was a German Benedictine nun and polymath. She is renowned as a composer of sacred monophonic music, as well as for her three volumes of visionary theology: _Scivias_, the _Liber Vitae Meritorum_ and the _Liber Divinorum Operum_. In recent decades, her music has proved immensely popular with performers of medieval music. In 2012, she was named a Doctor of the Church, one of only four women with that distinction in the Catholic church.
