520 8  Before Hilma af Klint and Emma Kunz, there was Hildegard 
       von Bingen (1098-1179) the German abbess, composer, writer,
       artist and mystic, who until now was probably best known, 
       in the English-speaking world, for her music and her 
       writings. Von Bingen completed her first visionary work of
       art around 1152: Scivias, taken from the Latin phrase Sci 
       vias Domini, or Know the Ways of the Lord. Describing 26 
       of Hildegard's religious visions in text and a series of 
       35 miniature illustrations, this series narrates the 
       journey of the humanity in Eve's womb, represented as 
       bright stars, as it joins with the stars in the sky: a 
       possibility offered to each soul, to return back to the 
       Light. In obedience to the voice of God, von Bingen wrote 
       down her visions in a precious manuscript, with images 
       added to make the story come alive. This volume brings 
       Hildegard's visionary text, in all its dense symbolism and
       prophetic sweep, alive to contemporary readers. At the 
       core of the book are the manuscript's 35 miniatures, 
       reproduced at their original size alongside an 
       accompanying key. Each element of the images' colors, 
       frames, forms, numbers' was precisely chosen and leads 
       deeper into the meaning of the work; the key decodes these
       symbols in each image and concisely describes each vision.
       A text by musician and scholar Sara Salvadori crosses the 
       entire work, highlighting these interlinking details and 
       revealing Hildegard's dense, unified design. This volume 
       presents Hildegard von Bingens endlessly compelling 
       prophetic text in all its inspired beauty. --|cProvided by
