You will need to check any translation of Hildegard that you consider
using against the Latin. A number of the translations in print are
worthless. I don't know who did the excerpts published by Paulist that
Fr. Feiss mentioned, but it may be okay. The CWS edition is good, but a
number of the others are simply not trustworthy. You would be well
advised to spot-check whatever you are considering using against the
Latin.
