I always have doubted the accuracy of the migraine diagnosis for
Hildegard, but I would like to ask whether there might be some ties
between her visions of bright figures and liturgical art. This may be the
result of my having visited the Romanesque churches of Cologne a few years
ago; I recall a lot of bright images. Might there have been some
expectation that heavenly figures also would be dazzling bright?
