Cloud and Clothe : Hildegard of Bingen's metaphors of the fall of the human soulWeiss, SonjaThe paper examines Hildegard's use of metaphors in her visions of the human fall, and the way she combined the biblical motif of Original Sin with the philosophical question of a soul's embodiment, ... particularly in her moral play, Ordo virtutum, but also in her medical and visionary writings. The metaphor of the cloud sometimes blends with the metaphor of clothing (as in, "to clothe"), since the corporeal vestment of the soul before the Fall is said to resemble a cloud of light. Both metaphors are present in Hildegard's other works, particularly the image of the cloud, which is frequently used to illustrate cosmological implications of Original Sin. The metaphor of clothing, on the other hand, reveals parallels with certain Christian Gnostic revelations, blended with the Neo-Platonic doctrine of the soul as enslaved to the body.Source: Acta neophilologica. - ISSN 0567-784X ([Letn.] 49, [št.] 1/2, 2016, str. 5-18)Type of material - article, component part ; adult, seriousPublish date - 2016Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 62757474
