Die Heilsteine der Hildegard von Bingen

Ancient healing knowledge in the light of modern crystal therapy. Written 850 years ago, still relevant today: the Lapis lapidarum, Hildegard von Bingen's book on stones. It describes 24 healing stones, whose effects have been confirmed by the experience of modern crystal therapy. For the first time, this book provides mineralogically precise definitions of all of Hildegard's healing stones. It also corrects errors, as eight healing stones have often been mistranslated or misclassified in previous literature. As a researcher and practitioner, Michael Gienger has succeeded in making Hildegard's medieval language accessible to us today – thus uncovering a treasure of healing knowledge.
