CONTEXT

ABSTRACT

Guibertus Gemblacensis visited the monks of Villers after a visit to Hildegard of Bingen. The monks wanted to gain an insight into the mystical and visionary gifts of Hildegard of Bingen, and formulated 38 questions. The request of the monks and an enumeration of the 38 questions appear in a letter of Guibertus to Hildegard.
