Miniature pictures of the Lucca Codex
Eight miniature pictures are included in the full-page illustrations of Hildegard's last
book "Liber Divinorum Operum" (1163-1170), the so-called "Lucca Codex", which is kept at
the state library of Lucca/Tuscany (Italy). These miniature pictures show Hildegard von Bingen
as she works on her famous writings at cloister Rupertsberg, supported by her noble disciple
Richardis von Stade and friar Vollmar.
