The Complete English Translation of Her Classic Work on Health and Healing
"A work filled with astonishments and delights for present-day readers." * Lee Pennock Huntington, Montpelier Times Argus * "Saint, mystic, healer, visionary, fighter, Hildegard von Bingen stands as one of the great figures in the history of women in medicine. She was renowned for her healing work and her original theories of medicine." * Elisbeth Brooke, in Women Healers * "Gives a good sense of 12th century herbalism based on humors, common superstition, and sprinkled with a dose of Bingen's mystical insights." * American Herb Association, Vol 16:2 *
