Le visioni di Ildegarda di Bingen

Abstract

Excursus sulla vita di Santa Ildegarda, una profetessa la cui esistenza venne caratterizzata da peculiari visioni. Fu badessa in un’epoca (XII secolo) in cui essere donna di chiesa era malvisto e la prima cristiana a considerare la femminilità intesa come tale. Nonostante gli studi scarsi, fu in grado di comprendere testi biblici.

Outline about the life of Saint Hildegard, a prophetess whose existence was characterized by peculiar visions. She was a prioress during an age (11th century) when being a woman from church was considered badly. She was the first who considered femininity that way. She was able to understand texts from the Bible, besides her poor studies.
