The most unusual woman of the Middle Ages On All Saints' Day in 1106, a small, sickly girl, the tenth child of a noble family, is to consecrate her life to God. A little later the young woman has a legendary
reputation as a healer and seer. People from all over the world make pilgrimages to her. Hildegard von Bingen never turns anyone away - and she gets into heavy fights with Emperor Friedrich I. and powerful bishops, who are a thorn in their side. An impressive, clever novel about a woman who has lost none of her fascination. No woman of the Middle Ages has gained such a reputation as Hildegard von Bingen. Her visions, carefully recorded by her or her helpers, are unique in their colourfulness and depth. And her medical applications, which she recommended to those seeking advice in her monastery, are still used today, nine hundred years later.
