Dear Cameron,
Hildegard's dates are given as 1098-1179, and I believe her feast day is
September 17th. There is a good recent biography of her by Sabrina
Flanagan which should tell you what you want to know. She was never
formally canonized but is widely venerated in Germany.

Subject: Hildegard von Bingen
I am looking for some information about Hildegard von Bingen.
Dates of birth/death? Feast date? Also, I saw a reference to
her as being
titled 'Saint Hildegard' but having never been canonized. Can
anyone enlighten
me on these facts?
Thanks,
Cameron
