The medical work of Abbess Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) is being studied more and more, and several new manuscripts have come to light in recent years. Some fragments of Physica, including excerpts in German, have also been identified, and they provide further information about the reception and use, in other words, the afterlife of this work. The author of this article herself discovered 4 fragments from the 15th century in various manuscripts of the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, and here two fragments of the Physica copied by Gerhard von Hohenkirchen are presented. They not only testify that Hildegard's medical writings, written in the monastery, still aroused a certain interest in university circles three centuries later, but they also bring new elements to the discrepancy between the current Physica and the original Liber subtilitatum, which has become much more important over the centuries was reworked. - [Abstract]
