About 1150, Hildegard von Bingen wrote the first of two books on medicine
and natural philosophy, Physica.  This was later followed by Causae et
Curae.  The two books together are referred to as the Liber Subtilatum.  Any
recipes of interest to the list will probably be found in these two books.

Translations of Hildegard's works are more common in German than English and
her theological texts are more translated than her medical texts.  For those
with an interest in pursuing her work, a partial Library of Congress catalog
list of available translations is appended.
