Hildegard of Bingen. The Rhenish Sibyl - Cristina Borgogni

Dettagli

Ildegarga - the Rhenish sibyl presents the text of a theatrical work written and successfully performed by Cristina Borgogni. Poet, musician, scientist, mystic and healer, Hildegard of Bingen presents herself as one of the most original and interesting female figures of the Christian Middle Ages. But the authority and prestige of his thought go beyond the limits of his era to reach us. Retracing the salient moments of the Benedictine nun's life, Cristina Borgogni recreates the image of a strong and courageous even if humble woman, capable of confronting popes and emperors. A tireless preacher of virtue as a source of health and harmony, Hildegard appears in our eyes as a figure comparable in brilliance and eclecticism to Leonardo da Vinci. The volume is accompanied by a concise biography and an extensive bibliography of the German religious and naturalist. Foreword by Marie Noelle Urech, president of the Viriditas Ildegardian Center. Introduction by Sergio Givone.
