Cosmic Egg
Ya, ok... looks more like... uhmm... well, you know.
The info...
Illuminated copy of an image in Hildegard von Bingen's Scivias (ca. 1151), depicting a "cosmic egg" from one of her religious visions. ⠀
⠀
Scivias — a contraction of Sci vias Domini (Know the Ways of the Lord) — was the German Benedictine abbess, mystic, and polymath first's major visionary work, and one of the biggest milestones in her life. Describing 26 religious visions she experienced, the work survives in ten medieval manuscripts, two of them lost in modern times. The most esteemed of these was the well-preserved Rupertsberg manuscript, prepared under Hildegard's immediate supervision or that of her immediate tradition, being made around the time of her death. It resided in the Wiesbaden Hessische Landesbibliothek until World War II, when it was taken to Dresden for safekeeping, and subsequently lost. Some hoped that the German reunification in 1990 would cause it to reappear, but to date it has not. A faithful illuminated copy was made at the Hildegard Abbey in Eibingen in 1927-1933 and it is this copy shown here.⠀
