Hildegard von Bingen is one of the most interesting figures of the Middle Ages, and was probably the most prolific female author of the period, writing on topics ranging from #theology to botany. The Liber Scivias – “Know the Way” – is the first theological-cosmological work by Hildegard and it continues to provide us with prophetic guidance today. Hildegard began having visions at a young age and became one of the most famous medieval Christian mystics. She spent more than ten years recording these visions in a book, at the heart of which is the inseparable oneness of the Universe (macrocosm) and man (microcosm). Although many #manuscripts of this work were made during and after Hildegard's lifetime, the Rupertsberg SCIVIAS-Codex from 1175 is undoubtedly the most splendidly illuminated. Although the original was lost in the chaos of World War II, it just so happens that an exact copy of it had been painstakingly made by nuns from the same cloister as Hildegard between 1927 and 1933.
