Description

Explore the mysterious Lingua Ignota through this scholarly edition and translation. Twelfth-century German nun Hildegard of Bingen brought forth 1012 neologisms designed to praise the Church and express the nuances of her world. This work moves beyond narrow interpretations of glossolalia or secret codes to offer a deeper look at her unique linguistic philosophy. In this volume, Higley examines the visionary metaphors and music that define this unknown language. The text provides a clear English translation of the glosses found in the Riesencodex, supported by research from the Berlin MS. It is an essential resource for those studying medieval history, linguistic philosophy, and the unique expression of the Middle Ages. This edition helps readers understand how Hildegard used language to bring new life to expression and spiritual praise.
