At a time when few women could write and most were denied a formal education, Hildegard von Bingen became a legendary healer, visionary, musician, artist, poet, and saint. Her works include twenty-seven symphonic compositions; Scivias , a compilation of her visions; and her two major medical works, Causae et Curae , a medical compendium, and Physica , published here in English in its entirety for the first time. Physica has a strong affinity with the Eastern medical approaches gaining great respect today.

- i***n (892)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI was back and forth on neutral or positive feedback. Seller does not respond to messages. Books dust jacket was in far worse condition than shown in the pictures could have been because how it was packaged. While it was shipped promptly, the package was a simple bubble mailer. For collectible books such as this, I’d expect it in a box. I ship books with media mail too and it doesn’t cost any more to use a box instead of plastic mailers. Book did arrive though and the pricing was reasonable.Fairyloot The Forest Grimm by Kathryn Purdie Exclusive Edition Digital Signature (#176931227352)
