[4] Cardinal J. B. Pitra, _Analecta sacra_, vol. viii, p. 350, Paris, 1882. This volume will here be quoted simply as ‘Pitra’. [5] Pitra, p. 556. [6] Wilhelm Grimm, ‘Wiesbader Glossen’, in Moriz Haupt’s _Zeitschrift für deutsches Alterthum_, Leipzig, 1848, vol. vi, p. 321. The script is reproduced in the ill-arranged and irritating work of J. P. Schmelzeis, _Das Leben und Wirken der heiligen Hildegardis_, Freiburg im Breisgau, 1879; and in Pitra, p. 497. The subject has been summarized by F. W. E. Roth in his _Lieder und unbekannte Sprache der h. Hildegardis_, Wiesbaden, 1880. [7] A short sketch of her life of yet earlier date has survived. It is from the hand of the monk Guibert and was probably written in 1180: Pitra, p. 407. The best modern account of her is by F. W. E. Roth in the _Zeitschrift für kirchliche Wissenschaft und kirchliches Leben_, vol. ix, p. 453, Leipzig, 1888. Less critical but more readable is the essay by Albert Battandier, ‘Sainte Hildegarde, sa vie et ses œuvres’, in the _Revue des questions historiques_, vol. xxxiii, pp. 395-425, Paris, 1883. [8] The ‘Acta inquisitionis de virtutibus et miraculis sanctae Hildegardis’ are reprinted in Migne, col. 131. [9] This volume is supplemented by ‘Annotationes ad Nova S. Hildegardis Opera’ in _Analecta Bollandiana_, vol. i, p. 597, Brussels, 1882. [10] This Wiesbaden MS. has been fully described by Antonius van der Linde, _Die Handschriften der Königlichen Landesbibliothek in Wiesbaden_, Wiesbaden, 1877. [11] Louis Baillet, ‘Les Miniatures du Scivias de sainte Hildegarde’, in the _Monuments et Mémoires publiés par l’Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres_, Paris, 1912, especially pp. 139 and 145. [12] We are inclined to place the preparation of this remarkable MS. at a slightly later date than that attributed to it by Baillet. As Wiesbaden is at present inaccessible we have reproduced the facsimiles in Plate II from Baillet’s monograph. [13] For the history of these MSS. see A. van der Linde, loc. cit., pp. 30-6.

Venturi, _Storia dell’ arte italiana_, Milan, _in progress_, vol. v, p. 16. [19] We are unable to concur with Baillet, however, that there is enough evidence to suggest that the miniaturists of the Lucca MS. had consulted the Wiesbaden illuminations.
