| Summary: | Joseph Baird, together with Radd K. Ehrman, has spent over twenty years translating the letters of Hildegard of Bingen—a project which, for various reasons, took so long to complete that the translated letters were published in three volumes. This single-volume selection, which contains only a fifth of the total, may be seen as a labour of love. That Baird is fascinated by and deeply fond of Hildegard is evident from the commentary linking the letters., This work, in effect, is a life of Hildegard of Bingen told through her correspondence, with a running commentary by Baird guiding the reader from Hildegard's first public outings to her final dispute with the church hierarchy. |
