In an extraordinary way, Hildegard embodies monastic theology and spirituality and provides a contrast to the new thing that would be created with the study of theology in the new Aristotelian idiom of the universities. But equally in contrast to the Benedictine Hildegard, the thirteenth century witnessed a renewed enthusiasm for a more literal following of Christ in a life of penitence and poverty. This is a life of dependence, not on a superior and enclosed community but on the compassion of society at large. Francis would join this movement on his own terms, attract a following, and gradually formulate a spirituality that sent signals of the need to reform individual lives and the institutions of the Church. These two authors, then, are not joined here because of any shared similarity but to help illustrate two quite different spiritualities that animated the lively European twelfth and thirteenth centuries.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHILDEGARD OF BINGEN\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eI \u003c\/b\u003e– Introduction to Hildegard and the Texts   3\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eII\u003c\/b\u003e – The Texts   15\u003cbr\u003e Hildegard on the Prologue\u003cbr\u003e Selection from Part I, Vision 4\u003cbr\u003e of \u003ci\u003eThe Divine Works\u003c\/i\u003e   17\u003cbr\u003e Hildegard on Creation\u003cbr\u003e Selection from Part II, Vision 1\u003cbr\u003e of \u003ci\u003eThe Divine Works\u003c\/i\u003e   39\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIII \u003c\/b\u003e– Retrieving Hildegard for Christian Life Today   59\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFRANCIS OF ASSISI\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eI \u003c\/b\u003e– Introduction to Francis and the Texts   73\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eII \u003c\/b\u003e– Foundational Texts of Francis   85\u003cbr\u003e The Earlier Rule   87\u003cbr\u003e Later Admonition and Exhortation\u003cbr\u003e to the Brothers and Sisters of Penance   118\u003cbr\u003e The Canticle of Creatures   129\u003cbr\u003e A Letter to the Entire Order   133\u003cbr\u003e The Testament   141\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIII \u003c\/b\u003e– Retrieving Francis for Christian Life Today   147\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eFurther Reading \u003c\/i\u003e  161\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAbout the Series\u003c\/i\u003e   163\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAbout the Editors\u003c\/i\u003e   169\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52742625165592,"sku":"9781531506018","price":8.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/from-the-monastery-to-the-city-hildegard-of-bingen-and-francis-of-assisi-paperback-softback-9781531506018","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
