Description

Explore the Lingua Ignota, the twelfth-century neologistic system created by German nun Hildegard of Bingen to praise the Church and express her visionary world through 1012 new words. This scholarly edition by Higley moves beyond narrow interpretations of glossolalia and angelic language, examining instead how Hildegard's Unknown Language revitalised medieval linguistic philosophy and signification. The text presents a full edition and English translation of the Lingua Ignota's glosses from the Riesencodex manuscript, supplemented by Berlin MS material, placing this remarkable medieval work within its proper historical and philosophical context. Essential reading for scholars of medieval history, linguistics, theology, and the extraordinary intellectual contributions of Hildegard of Bingen.
