Maybe you could impress her with a new fun fact or better yet invite her to read the article :P It's funny that you mentioned that I included examples of her Lingua Ignota, I thought to myself if I were reading the article I would love to know a word or two from her vocabulary.
What made up words have you come up with? That sounds super cool!
People move on to the next "big" thing really fast and so easily, it sometimes can rub off to ourselves too which kinda sucks but just shows we live in a society at the end of the day. Hopefully, you'll pick a new old book or novel, or just one of Hildegard's books, which by the way are beyond fascinating. As always thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts, always looking forwad to them! 🌱🌞
My wife was interested in Hildegard some time ago, particularly for Hildegard's view of nature/ecology.
But I didn't know about her lingua ignota:
And I'm very glad you included some examples.
I'm not sure why I'm so fascinated by that aspect of Hildegard. Perhaps I just like made up words and pretend languages.
Your post reminds me that I should read old texts more often. There was a time when I frequently read things written hundreds of years ago. Lately, I seem so horribly biased to the present that reading something written a month ago causes me to worry. We live in era when the present is so dominant I fear we are going to forget all the rest.
