Abstract

AVENATTI DE PALUMBO, Cecilia. The bridal metaphor from the look of Hildegarda of Bingen. Franciscanum [online]. 2014, vol.56, n.161, pp.197-220. ISSN 0120-1468.

The article intends to interpret Scivias and Symphonia, two works of the corpus of Hildegard von Bingen (theology, mystical and visionary poet of the 12th century Christian, who was proclaimed a doctor of the Church by Benedicto XVI in October 2012), from the biblical hermeneutics developed by Paul Ricoeur around the bridal metaphor. The analysis of the texts manages to demonstrate that music is the distinctive element of the hildegardian thought and therefore her contribution to the reception of the biblical Book of the Song of Songs.

Keywords : Hildegard of Bingen; Song of songs; bridal metaphor; Paul Ricoeur.
