Man kann sich auch ganz einfach selbst ein Kochbuch mit den Rezepten Hildegards zusammenstellen, dafür muss man kein Buch kaufen.

Alle überlieferten Kochrezepte Hildegards finden sich im Bild rechts. Grundlage ist das von der Abtei in Eibingen herausgegebene Gesamtwerk in 10 Bänden.

Ja, nee, is klar.

Verkehrschaos in Oslo: Vier Gelenkbusse im Kreisverkehr sind einer zu viel
In einem Kreisverkehr verkeilten sich am Montagabend in Oslo vier Gelenkbusse – und blockierten alle Ausfahrten. Ein Anwohner behielt dabei den Überblick und konnte helfen.

Ja, nee, is klar, ORF.

Das ist selbstverständlich NICHT nach Hildegard von Bingen.
Hildegard hat KEINE Kochrezepte, KEIN EINZIGES, nur ARZNEIMITTEL.

Und Kartoffeln und Mais kannte sie im 12. Jahrhundert natürlich auch noch nicht, das sind amerikanische Pflanzen.

”Thus, the revised version of the authors have strengthened my opinion that the whole paper is ‘a mission’ for the ‘anti-vaxx community’ and not a scientific paper”.

Oh wow! This is what happens when you're photographing MSS & don't capture the text in the inner gutter. 1st, here's the photograph (made about 100 yrs ago) of the Codex Salernitanus, f. 82ra. Although that big tear of the page is obvious, the inner gutter hasn't been fully captured in the photo.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

It's hard to decide; I bought them both together back then. Therefore, for me, they belong together, even though they are very different.

I have just learned that the medical and pharmaceutical historian Irmgard Müller passed away on April 9th.

Her work on Hildegard of Bingen, in which she critically examined so-called "Hildegard medicine," brought her fame far beyond the boundaries of her field.

My latest “success”: A paper on Sambucus was cited in a publication about heavy metals in camel blood and milk in Saudi Arabia.

Ah, the wonderland of MDPI on a Friday in autumn!

(That's almost as remarkable as the historic paper on Marrubium being cited as a study on mice.)
