Ortrun Riha : „Weil der Maulwurf sich manchmal zeigt“. Argumentationsstrukturen in Hildegards von Bingen ‚Causae et curae‘

The paper examines the didactic strategies in Hildegard von Bingen’s ‘Causae et curae’. Based on her self-developed, complicated concept of primary qualities, elements, and body fluids, she connects cosmic processes with physical activities and disease patterns. Hildegard combines an allopathic and a homoeopathic approach and, as an attentive observer of nature, she looks upon everyday situations as signatures of healing. Hildegard’s imagination in analogy and comparison constitutes a specific quality of her medical advice.
