Hildegard of Bingen's Unknown Language

Higley, Sarah L. - Hildegard of Bingen's Unknown Language~An Edition, Translation, and Discussion

The Lingua Ignota provides 1012 neologisms for praise of Church and new expressions of the things in Hildegard von Bingen's world. Higley examines Hildegard's "Unknown Language" of speaking in tongues (glossolalia), angelic language, and secret code, and places it within the historical context of imaginary language making common in the medieval period.
