Hildegard von Bingen Presentation by Dr. Debra Stoudt

The Holy Roman Empire class was treated to a guest presentation by Dr. Debra Stoudt, Professor of German at Virginia Tech. Dr. Stoudt presented the life and work of Hildegard von Bingen, 12th-century Catholic visionary, healer, and mystic. Bingen is one of only four women who have been declared Doctor of the Church in the Catholic faith. Students read a supplementary article in advance and asked lots of questions during the presentation.
