The visions of Hildegard would begin at an early age and would mark a bit 'all his life. At the age of eight years, because of his poor health, had been in the convent of the noble Disibodenberg parents Ildeberto Vendersheim and Matilda, where she was educated by Jutta of Sponheim, a young aristocratic retired into a monastery.

foundress of the monastery of Bingen, Hildegard was often at odds with the clergy of the Catholic Church, however, managed to overturn the monastic concept which until then was, and very time was still, immovable, preferring a life of preaching open to the outside to the more traditionally cloistered. When it was considered an authority within the Church, Pope Eugenius III - in 1147 - he read some of his writings during the Synod of Trier. The
"Viriditas"

It uses an alphabet of 23 letters, defined ignotae litterae. Hildegard partially described the language in a work entitled hominem simplicem Hildegardem unknown language for children, which have survived only two manuscripts, both dating to 1200, the Code of Wiesbaden and Berlin manuscript.

This language, having been created in the twelfth century, may be considered as one of the oldest artificial languages \u200b\u200bknown today. The challenge
