- Every era has its famous figures--Marylin Monroe, Charles Dickens, Elvis Presley, Voltaire--and the middle ages was no different. In the twelfth century Rhineland, one German nun was especially well known and was consulted for advice due to her unique divine gift. But beyond this, she was also a scientific and medical writer, a musical composer, a theologian, a reformer, a miracle worker, and even invented her own language and writing system. This woman was Hildegard of Bingen.

Once again, I was not aware of any of this. A very impressive woman, especially in those times.
You’re doing some incredibly quality work, both with your scholarship and production, and you deserve way more views. Hyped to see more!
This means so much to me, thank you!
this randomly got recommended to me by the algorithm and it was awesome!
The " Hildegarde von Blingen' " channel (yes, that's the way it's spelled, apostrophe and all) features a woman with an ethereal voice who sings and arranges popular songs in a Medieval style, "Bardcore". She has also performed some of the actual Hildegard's music. It's all very lovely. I believe the creator also does the Medieval-style drawings that accompany the songs.
Yep, I'm familiar with her work. The thumbnail for this video was a bit of a reference to her channel
I actually thought that's what this video was about, until I clicked. 🫠
Kudos! Excellent summary-bio of one of the most brilliant women and mystics of all time, Hildegard von Bingen. Only wish you would have included some of her music! Well, well done!
I am a herbalist and a colleague introduced me to her work in health a few years ago. She was then instrumental in my return to the Catholic Church! Loved your summary on her life. I have a few of her books and will go back to reading them again as you just inspired me to get to know her work more deeply. She is an amazing woman in so many ways and I love the was a fellow herbalist. Do you have a favourite book of hers? 🕊️
I was lucky enough that my mum had a CD of HVB’s music which I listened to, repeatedly, as a kid. My fascination with her has only grown over time. What a marvelous video! Fantastic work and an immediate subscribe!
A woman way ahead of her time, or even ours. St Hildegard, pray for us!
i know her from her inclusion of minerals in her medical remedies, i read about her once while doing some research for a paper i was writing on women in geology
Her discussion of minerals is truly one of the most fascinating aspects of her already fascinating works!
Of course you were researching women in geology lol.
@@studiumhistoriae which of her books is this in?
@@TheAllyathome the Physica
@@studiumhistoriae nice. I do have this one. Thanks!
Congratulations on making a well balanced, fact informed video! It's always tricky with religious figures but you have managed to make it masterfully.
This was so fascinating. I had heard of her but still did now know much about her. Thank you for sharing this information.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I somehow discovered Hildegard's music years ago, and then a relative did some genealogical work on our family, and I learned that I have a maternal ancestor from Staudernheim, a village not very far from Disibodenberg. I was excited about that very distant connection to Hildegard.
Great video, thank you so much. Very masterful exposition.
I've been meaning to look more into Hildegard of Bingen, I got a glimpse of her music while studying for a masters in music, but she is a prominent name for pre-classical era music. super cool vid about her!
love this kind of content. and the way you present the information kept me engaged! subscribed, can't wait to watch more.
I'm glad you liked it! This kind of feedback is always encouraging
Can you make a story about Saint Catherine of Siena?
Excellent and interesting. THANK YOU for not h having competing background music. Have subscribed
great thumbnail :D
Thank you for this!
Hi! Love your channel, thanks for such good work🎉
I absolutely love your historical content. I sure hope you will gather more of a following soon. I especially like your further reading recommendations. For an even more academic approach, I personally would appreciate seeing sources on the lower bottom of the video. Not a must, of course, rarely anyone does this. But it would make it easier for an academic audience to check for accuracy. Thank you, I am subscribed now.
I'm glad you enjoy my videos! I have contemplated having direct "footnotes" in them, but ultimately I've decided to go the more encyclopedic route with the recommended readings kind of like you'd see reading the encyclopedia Britannica.
A big part of that is just how much more time it would take and I figure that the majority of my TH-cam audience are approaching it more casually anyway, while I include recommendations for those who want to look into it deeper or have a more academic interest.
Excelent Channel, lovely video
Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you for watching!
I feel this is probably the best place to wish everyone a happy international women's day!
Excellent video and well told. I hadn't come across your channel before today and it's an instant 'subscribe.'
I have a question about one of the illustrations shown as I am wondering where that's from. It's at 8:40. Quite a striking image.
It's from a medieval copy of the Psychomachia (war of the soul) which was a poem by the late antique Christian author Prudentius. It's an allegorical story about a war between the virtues and vices (most of which are personified as women, in part due to the fact that most of the words for these virtues in Latin are feminine nouns, but it's also interesting to think of in terms of ideas about gender)
I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
I mean no wonder, even Cid's wife in FFIX was named Hildegard & had both of his airships named after her lol
Muy interesante historia de esta figura y muy especial alma. Gracias por su trabajo.
Jgd, very well done, thank you! Sgd
Was that song at the end one of hers? Loved the vid thanks!
Yes it was! I didn't put more of her music in because a lot of it is copyrighted (seeing as they are performances with interpretive elements) but I highly encourage looking up her music online
Thanks. . . .useful.
Omg new subscriber what a treasure trove of history for a history major like me 🤩😁
Welcome!
Fascinating, thank you! Is this the “Mother Hildegard” Diana Gabaldon based the character on in the Outlander series?
She may have named the character after her and been inspired by her, but Outlander takes place about 600 years after Hildegard of Bingen's time
omg queen and loml hilda
I wonder if you can find her in CK3
❤❤
