“The essays collected here situate the Sibyl of the Rhineland thoughtfully; all are careful and detailed; and several significantly enhance our knowledge of Hildegard and her historical context. […] The volume is a welcome addition to current Hildegardian scholarship. It is carefully edited, contains a wealth of bibliographical information, and achieves an impressively high level of scholarly sophistication.”Caroline Walker Bynum, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton.
