Wisse die Wege takes its title from Hildegard's first book of visions, and its historiographic stance is that of her earliest biographers: Hildegard is best understood as a mouthpiece of God, little affected by the complex sociopolitical landscape and literary-scientific culture of the twelfth century. Thus, although this book is one of the newest contributions to the burgeoning literature on Hildegard, its author uses little of the most current research on medieval history, medieval women, and medieval medicine. It could almost have been written a quarter of a century ago
