"Liber Divinorum Operum" I.4, MS 1942, fol. 38r, early C13th, original by #HildegardofBingen ( #HildegardvonBingen, German, C12th). Held by Biblioteca Statale di Lucca; source, www.hildegard-society.org/p/liber-divi... #nuntastic #womenartists #artherstory #FeastofStHildegard #StHildegard

This illustration, a later copy of a C12th artwork, has a distinct circular or "mandala" shape, superimposed over a narrow vertical gold rectangle with a thicker decorative border with repeating acanthus leaves in blue and white inside of a much narrower reddish-orange straight-line border. The blue and white border is covered over at the left and right edges of the work by the central mandala. Just inside the acanthus-leaf border is a slim green colored border, which terminates at the left middle edge of the drawing in a snake’s head. The inner drawing features concentric circles, within the largest band of which stylized trees punctuate the landscape, while six human figures interact within the divinely ordered natural space, resting or engaging in various acts of farming. An outer band—the outer portion in solid blue, the inner portion with wavy white lines against the same blue-colored background—is decorated at its edges with various kinds of fish. Inside the lower left corner, inserted between the acanthus-leaf border and the mandala, is a small rectangular drawing within an internal rectangular frame of a woman seated in a chair behind a tilted stand, on which sit two tablets side by side.

There is something profoundly #autumnal about becoming who you were always meant to be: not by holding on, but by having the courage to shed what no longer belongs to you. Perhaps life is less about becoming - and more about learning what to let fall. #vss365

'the...purpose of a cover, to promote its wares, but also...convey what reading an individual book might feel like.' We often ask about designing book covers during our #WomenWritersNet #AuthorInterview as the process is fascinating and covers draw readers to books. What are your thoughts on them?
