[Eckart, Ann M.]

The free Medieval Fair Lecture Series returns as Susan Caldwell, David Ross Boyd Professor Emerita, Art History, University of Oklahoma, presents:

"Hildegard von Bingen: Mystical Visions, Celestial Harmonies"

Friday October 25, 2013, 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.
Norman Public Library, 225 N. Webster

Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) was truly one of the luminaries of the twelfth-century Renaissance in Europe. Abbess of a women's monastery, she wrote theological texts; an encyclopedia of plants, animals, gems, and metals; a book on medicine, which included extensive material on sexuality; and, not least of all, beautiful, creative, and unusual liturgical music to be sung, played, and even acted out.

This lecture will study the illustrations and verbal descriptions of her famous visions and present a small sample of her liturgical hymns.

Come learn more about the Middle Ages just for the fun of learning!
No papers, no tests, just interesting information about life long ago.
