We had quite a conversation about Hildegarde von Bingens on this list earlier
this year. Looking through this file, which is in the PEOPLE section of my
Florilegium, I find several translations into English of what look like her 
books on medicine.

I know I wrote this up once a week or so ago, but I guess it never took to
the list.  The Physica has been translated into English for the first time by
Priscilla Throop and is available through Healing Arts Press, One Park St,
Rochester, VT 05767.  The price is $25.00.
