Barbara Newman's lecture on Hildegard & her hagiographers, given at Leeds
in July, touched on this theme. I hope she publishes it soon, if it is
not already in the collection of essays she edited, Hildegard of Bingen
and Her World (Berkeley, 1998). One thing she noted was how few causes
succeeded in the 13th century.
