Liber Divinorum Operum (The book of divine works), which Hildegard von Bingen began composing in 1163‒64 and finished in 1172‒74, is the last of her three great works of visionary theology. It was preceded by her best-known work, Scivias (Know the ways, composed in 1142–51), and Liber Vitae Meritorum (Book of life's merits, composed in 1158–63). In each of these works, Hildegard (1098‒1179) describes the often strange and enigmatic visions she received, which she then follows with an explanatory commentary pronounced by the voice of God. The manuscript presented here is one of three transcriptions of the work, and the only illuminated manuscript. It can be dated to between the second and third decades of the 13th century. The manuscript is in Gothic handwriting in two columns of 38 lines on each page, with hard point ruling.
