  St. Disibod   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Disibod journeyed to the Continent about the year 653, and settled in the valley of the Nahe, not far from Bingen.
His labours continued during the latter half of the seventh century, and, though he led the life of an anchorite, he had a numerous community, who built bee-hive cells, in the Irish fashion, on the eastern slopes of the mountain.
Some authors are of the opinion that his death really took place on 8 Sept., whilst the date 8 July is that of the translation of his relics in the year 754, St. Boniface being present.

 Kloster Disibodenberg in the Nahe valley   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Disibod became older and older, and there was no sign.
Disibod stood up and called out: "This is the holy place, let us build our huts here!" The later Disibodenberg monastery, which in the following centuries, played a great role in the development of the Nahe valley, began with this group of huts.
This much is known: around the year 675, the Irish monk Disibod, along with his three companions Gisbald, Clemens and Sallust, settled in the former Celtic and Roman cult site of Disibodenberg.

Her parents, in an exceptionally literal interpretation of the custom of tithing (turning over one-tenth of ones wealth to the Church), presented her as a tithe - the youngest of their ten children - for full-time service to the Church at the age of eight.
She was sent to live with a holy hermit woman, Jutta of Sponheim, in a small cottage next to the monastery of St. Disibod.
The hermitage at St. Disibod attracted so many women that it eventually became a Benedictine community of nuns with Jutta as the superior.

 ARSIS: Catalog: CD101
Hildegard was born in Bermershein (Germany) in 1098, the tenth child of a noble family.
When she was eight years old, her family gave her, as an offering of thanksgiving, to the monastery of St. Disibod to live with a noble-woman named Jutta, who was able to teach the child elementary reading in Latin and singing.
In 1150 Hildegard and the St. Disibod nuns moved to a new monastery at Rupertsberg, and in 1165 Hildegard founded yet another abbey at Eibingen - this last convent, now called the Abbey of St. Hildegard, is still in existence (the Rupertsberg monastery was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War).

 Hildegard 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
On the first of November 1112, Jutta formally took monastic vows and was enclosed as an anchoress in the church of St. Disibod by Otto, Bishop of Bamberg.
Although it would seem that election as abbess of the new convent of St. Disibod would be an important triumph in the life of a nun, this event goes unnoticed in Hildegard’s journal.
It was Volmar that gained the unenthusiastic permission of Abbot Kuno of Disibod for this project, and Hildegard reports that as soon as she began writing, her sickness ended.[11] Although she may have found temporary relief in having her ideas recorded, Hildegard still had to go through the actual process of inquisition by Church leaders.

He was so impressed with her writing, especially in light of Bernard of Clairvaux's recommendation of her, that Eugene read part of her book out loud to the prelates assembled at Trier and sent her a letter, encouraging her to continue writing.
Hildegard petitioned to be allowed to leave the monastery with the women under her care and found her own community, but the monks at St. Disibod were loath to lose their newfound source of prestige and funding.

 Hildegarde von Bingen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Her parents, in an exceptionally literal interpretation of the custom of tithing (turning over one-tenth of ones wealth to the Church), presented her as a tithe — the youngest of their ten children — for full-time service to the Church at the age of eight.
Here she survived on two meals a day (served at three in the morning and three in the afternoon), with her only contacts being Jutta (who provided some minimal education) and their confessor.
From her youth she experienced apocalyptic visions, though when she realised that others did not see similar things, she became reticent until instructed to record them with the assistance of the monk Volmar, who became her friend and amanuensis.

 The Disibodenberg
Missionaries from already christianized regions came to this land, among them Disibod, who built a cell for himself on the mountain, which later was named after him, and according to the tradition Hildegard refers to in her Disibod-biography he even erected a monastery.
It is documented before the 9th century already that Disibod was venerated as a Saint.
About the turn of the millennium, Archbishop Willigis of Mainz founded next to the Baptistery on the Disibodenberg a canon-convent for twelve clergymen, who were to take pastoral care for the surrounding settlements.

In due course, Hildegard took the profession of virginity and the veil, and in 1136, with the death of Jutta, she became abbess of St. Disibod.

At the age of eight she entered a small convent associated with the monastery of St. Disibod near Bingen on the Rhine; and there, under the tutelage of the anchoress Jutta of Spanheim, in her mid-teens, she took her vows.
Her fame increased, and with it the number of postulants at the convent of St. Disibod.
The monks of St. Disibod were reluctant to lose the famous Hildegard and her sisters, and Hildegard struggled through numerous difficulties—including a paralyzing illness—before the issue was resolved and the new convent completed in 1150.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Saint Hildegard
Her parents, though much engaged in worldly pursuits, had a religious disposition and had promised the child to the service of God.
At the age of eight she was placed under the care of Jutta, sister of Count Meginhard, who lived as a recluse on the Disenberg (or Disibodenberg, Mount of St. Disibod) in the Diocese of Speyer.
Here also Hildegard was given but little instruction since she was much afflicted with sickness, being frequently scarcely able to walk and often deprived even of the use of her eyes.

As the abbess of St. Disibod in Germany, she founded the convent of Rupertsberg, also in Germany, and corresponded with such political giants as Frederick Barbarossa, the emperor of Germany from 1152 to 1190; as a theologian, she covered in books and in letters topics such as the sacraments, purgatory, and cosmology.
As much as she might have "mothered" the nuns in her convent, marriage and children were obviously not in Hildegard´s future.
Barbara Newman explains that when Hildegard and her mentor, Jutta, joined the community at St. Disibod, it "was quite new and still under construction.

After Jutta's death, Hildegard was named prioress, leader of the nuns but under the authority of the abbot of St. Disibod.
While Hildegard was still working on Scivias (and writing hymns---some of her songs were apparently known in Paris by 1148), she decided to leave St. Disibod with her nuns and establish a separate foundation some miles away, near Bingen.
The abbot of St. Disibod was not happy about the move, but with the help of the archbishop, the foundation of St. Rupert's monastery was made by 1151, the year before the completion of Scivias.

 INKPOT#52 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: HILDEGARD of Bingen "A Feather on the Breath of God". Gothic Voices (Hyperion)
No text of greater poetic power and beauty form the heart of the music as that by Hildegard herself.
Amidst the rich imagery and vibrant symbolism are themes celebrating divine grace, the Virgin Mary, Saint Rupert (see review of Sequentia's "O Jerusalem" album for more info), Saint Disibod who founded the monastery where Hildegard was raised, and Saint Ursula (of "11,000" martyred virgins fame).
Describing these do no justice to Hildegard's poetry, nor the rapturous magic of the music.
