Reviews
Every library supporting a women's studies program should have this useful and seminal volume. * Choice * This first volume...makes available for the first time in English 90 letters to and from both the upper echelon of church and state and lesser ecclesiastical figures. * Theological Studies * Baird and Ehrman's translation is at once accurate and smooth, rendering Hildegard's Latin in an English style as idiomatic as her quirky language permits....This is an excellent starting point for readers who want to sample the writings of this great monastic in small doses before dipping into her formidable visionary tomes. * Reviews for Religious * I think this is the translation of Hildegard's letters that medievalists have been waiting for. It is based on a reliable edition, movingly and accurately translated, and will be useful to many scholars. * Elizabeth A. Petroff, University of Massachusetts, Amherst * Every library supporting a women's studies program should have this useful and seminal volume. * Choice *
