Vision: The Life and Music of Hildegard Von Bingen chronicles the remarkable journey of one of history's most original minds, from her early visions and cloistered beginnings to her emergence as a prolific composer, healer, poet, and spiritual authority whose influence stretched across the courts and monasteries of medieval Europe.\n\nCompiled and edited by Jane Bobko, with text by the distinguished scholar Barbara Newman and commentary by theologian Matthew Fox, this richly collaborative work presents a multifaceted portrait of a woman centuries ahead of her time. Newman's rigorous scholarship illuminates Hildegard's theological writings and musical compositions with precision and depth, while Fox's commentary situates her legacy within the broader tradition of creation spirituality. Together, they craft a narrative that is as intellectually stimulating as it is spiritually resonant — leaving the reader to wonder how one woman, constrained by the iron walls of a medieval convent, managed to compose some of the most hauntingly beautiful music the Western world has ever known.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51070622007515,"sku":"2026100012077-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/cb9cd404-e60b-4006-be9d-c916154c59ea.png?v=1794188096","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100012077-secondhand-vision-the-life-and-music-of-hildegard-von-bingen","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
