	Sanctae Hildegardis Circulus sapientiae = Circle of wisdom Hildegard von Bingen songs performed by Anima, introduction and notes by Elizabeth Thompson, with English translations by W.R. Johnson 2001
As a visual illustration of songs by mediaeval visionary abbess Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), Sanctae Hildegardis Circulus sapientiae (Circle of wisdom) was created in honor of the abbess' nine hundredth birthday and inspired by her music. Latin texts of twelve songs from the Symphony of the Harmony of Celestial Revelations anchor the seven-spread accordion binding. A CD of hymns from the symphony, performed by Anima, a Vermont-based ensemble dedicated to the study and performance of mediaeval music, is included. The dynamic pop-up book is accompanied by a booklet containing an English translation. Edition of 120.
