Jutta and Hildegard

The Biographical Sources. This text presents a range of biographical sources, in the form of translated documents, of the 12th-century German religious figure, Hildegarde of Bingen. This collection also aims to give a more in depth view of Hildegarde's spiritual mother, Jutta of Disbodenberg.

This book presents in one volume the full range on biographical sources of the outstanding female religious figure of twelfth-century Germany, Hildegard of Bingen (1098–1179). In addition it gives the English reading public the first in-depth view of Hildegard's spiritual mother, Jutta of Disibodenberg (1092–1136).

Most documents appear in translation for the first time. In particular, the Life of Jutta, which Hildegard herself instigated as a memorial to her spiritual mother, is a major source, recently discovered, that sheds new light on the early life of Hildegard. In addition to her accurate and sensitive translations, Silvas provides a detailed apparatus of up-to-date introductions, notes, and appendices.

Included are the following documents:

• Chronicles of Disibodenberg (selections)

• Charters of Disibodenberg

• Documents of Sponheim

• Life of Jutta

• Guibert's Letter 38 to Bovo (including his incomplete Life of Hildegard)
