This book analyses how the three books of visions by Hildegard of Bingen use the allegorical vision as a form of knowledge. The book shows that Hildegard uses traditional forms of knowledge – prophecy, the vision, monastic theology, allegorical hermeneutics – in startlingly innovative ways by combining them and by revising them for her own time.
