The Dendermonde Codex or sometimes called Villarenser Kodex or codex 9 of the Dendermonde Abbey,^[1] is a valuable manuscript containing the Symphonia harmoniae caelestium revelationum of Hildegard of Bingen.^[2]

History

This valuable manuscript is kept in a 19th-century monastery because, it did pass in several other Benedictine monasteries.^[3]

and finally it arrived in the famous Affligem Abbey, where the monks were chased out in 1796. In 1869/70, the abbey of Affligem was re-established, but the valuable collection did not return and is kept until today inside Dendermonde Abbey. The Bingen manuscript is considered the most valuable of the library, and is world-famous therefor.

The Manuscript

The collection of songs inside the codex was named by Hildegard Symphonia Harmoniae Caelestium Revelationum^[4].

The current manuscript is not complete as several folios are missing. However, it still contains 183 folios, made of parchment, containing 60 psalmes and cantica in honour of father and son.^[5] It is dated ca. 1176 A.D. and is considered one of the major works by Hildegard von Bingen.
