Saint Hildegard of Bingen, O.S.B. (German: Hildegard von Bingen; Latin: Hildegardis Bingensis) (1098 - 1179), also known as Saint Hildegard, and Sibyl of the Rhine, was a German writer, composer, philosopher, Christian mystic, Benedictine Abbess, Visionary, and polymath.

Elected a magistra by her fellow Nuns in 1136, she founded the Monasteries of Rupertsberg, in 1150, and Eibingen, in 1165. One of her works as a composer, the Ordo Virtutum, is an early example of Liturgical drama and, arguably, the oldest surviving morality play.

She wrote theological, botanical and medicinal texts, as well as Letters, Liturgical songs, and poems, while supervising brilliant miniature illuminations.

Although the history of her formal recognition as a Saint is complicated, she has been recognised as a Saint by parts of the Roman Catholic Church for centuries. On 7 October 2012, Pope Benedict XVI named her a Doctor of the Church.
