Hildegard of Bingen (1098–1179) was a Benedictine abbess, composer, and polymath whose visionary works spanned theology, medicine, and music. Her Ordo Virtutum is the oldest surviving morality play, and her concept of viriditas (the “greening” of creation) remains influential in ecology and spirituality.
