What is the role of mysticism in medieval culture?
What will be an ideal response?
Mystical, or visionary literature, reflected an individual's intuitive and direct knowledge of God and it conjured vivid images of the supernatural (thus providing a vocabulary by which the unknowable might actually be known). Christian mystics, such as Hildegard of Bingen, produced original works on such topics as the nature of the universe, the meaning of Scripture, and the destiny of the Christian soul. This type of literature complemented the more ubiquitous didactic religious literature that was meant to teach and instruct.
