Hildegard von Bingen

The book is the story of the journey in which the humanity/bright stars in Eve’s womb join with the stars in the sky. A possibility offered to each soul: to return back to the Light of the origins of the Earth. An experience belonging to Hildegard in her visions and narrated, in obedience to the voice of God, leaving behind her fears, in a precious manuscript where images make the story come alive. A Journey into the Images is born in the hopes of satisfying
this desire for knowledge, revealing the Ways the title of the work promises, in a reading guided by images. The central pages present the 35 original-size miniature reproductions with alongside a key that easily illustrates the symbolic
meaning and a concise description of the vision.
The outcome of 7 years of study, this is the first book that illustrates the complex prophetic text of the German Saint, in a reading guided by images (26 visions and 35 miniatures).
