It describes how the visionarys use of allegory and allegorical exegesis is linked to theories of cognition, interpretation, and prophecy. It argues that the form of the allegorical vision is not just the product of a medieval symbolic mentality, but specific to Hildegards position and the major transformations taking place in the prescholastic intellectual milieu, such as the changing use of Scripture or the shift from traditional hermeneutics to cognitive language philosophy. The book shows that Hildegard uses traditional forms of knowledge prophecy, the vision, monastic theology, allegorical hermeneutics in startlingly innovative ways by combining them and by revising them for her own time. Dinah Wouters received her PhD in Latin literature from Ghent University, Belgium. She co-founded the research group RELICS and the open access journal JOLCEL, which promotes the study of Latin literature as a European literature. Her current project studies the impact of early modern Latin drama on a European scale. 001451754 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed December 29, 2022). 001451754 60000 $$aHildegard,$$cSaint,$$d1098-1179$$xCriticism and interpretation. 001451754 60000 $$aHildegard,$$cSaint,$$d1098-1179.$$tScivias. 001451754 60000 $$aHildegard,$$cSaint,$$d1098-1179.$$tLiber vitae meritorum. 001451754 60000 $$aHildegard,$$cSaint,$$d1098-1179.$$tDe operatione Dei. 001451754 650_0 $$aMysticism$$xCatholic Church$$vEarly works to 1800. 001451754 655_7 $$aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411635 001451754 655_7 $$aEarly works.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411636 001451754 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001451754 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3031171918$$z9783031171918$$w(OCoLC)1342489407 001451754 830_0 $$aNew Middle Ages (Palgrave (Firm)) 001451754 852__ $$bebk 001451754 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-17192-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001451754 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1451754$$pGLOBAL_SET 001451754 980__ $$aBIB 001451754 980__ $$aEBOOK 001451754 982__ $$aEbook 001451754 983__ $$aOnline 001451754 994__ $$a92$$bISE
