Hildegard of Bingen, A Visionary Life. New York: Routlege, 1989. This book mainly focuses on the life of Hildegard as a spiritualist and a healer, as do most books that were written about her. It begins by outlining the basic events of her life and death; her illness as a child, her education at a convent by a woman named Jutta, and the visions.
In many ways, the biography of Hildegard of Bingen is a compelling starting point for the discussion on baroque music. This is a novel perspective because the German nun and convent prioress lived roughly 600 years prior to the peak of the baroque period.

With Volmar as her secretary, Hildegard began to write Scivias, or “Know the Ways,” her first book about her visions and her theological interpretations of them. Once some of the book had been written, Hildegard wrote to the influential French abbot Bernard of Clairvaux, a Cistercian monk and close advisor to the pope, for his opinion of her visions and her work.
