  1. Dear Colleagues: I am a graduate student in cultural astronomy and astrology at the University of Wales. Does anyone reading this note know of any work that has been done specifically on the "astrology of St. Hildegard" in her writings? In addition, are there manuscripts (or copies) which have not yet been translated from the Latin into English which would serve the community of scholars well?

    Thanks for any comments...John Murray

  2. Your starting point for scholarship would probably be Charles Burnett's essay, "Hildegard of Bingen and the Science of the Stars," pp. 111-120, in Burnett and Dronke, eds., Hildegard of Bingen: The Context of her Thought and Art.

    The main locus for astrological material in Hildegard's corpus is the Cause et Cure, esp. Books 5 and 6. (There are selections of these in Margaret Berger's translation, Hildegard of Bingen: Natural Philosophy and Medicine; but they are not, I believe, complete.)

    The principal scholarship on Cause et Cure, including the modern critical edition, has been by Laurence Moulinier, who has ventured the hypothesis that the most blatant astrological material in Books 5 and 6 was not authored directly by Hildegard, though was known to her and used in her monastery.
