Abstract
Even though the trope of the “forgotten” female figure has been employed by many popular and scholarly references to Hildegard of Bingen, knowledge of her can be traced from the time of her death until the mid-nineteenth century. Documentation includes the circulation of her writings in manuscript sources and printed editions and leaflets, and mentions of her in chronicles and other reference sources and secondary literature. Her depiction is found in illuminations, woodcuts, statues, paintings, and frescos, and her relics were venerated as those of a saint, in particular within an almost unbroken tradition at her Eibingen convent through 1803.
