It is true that the Liber subtilatatum is very much attitudinallybuilt up. She begins with a prefatory chapter of which, the title “Exordium”, is the Spanne of the Liber subtilatatum as a whole. Theopening chapter of the Liber subtilatatum is entitled: “De littera et doctrina eius quae est, quae est, prae se, quae est”. This De littera is an interesting one, because,in contrast with what is said in the Liber subtilatatum,it is in the nature of things that the Liber subtilatatum does notexist by itself. In the introduction, Hildegard declares that shegives this book to the soul, which she desires to open and understand.The author, then, invites a soul not to neglect it because of thelength and the difficulty and to read it in spite of herself. The firstchapter is essentially an introduction and the first chapter of the Liber subtilatatum is, by the same token, anintroduction. There are some other preparatory chapters like the“De concordia”, “De profectione”, “De spiritu”, “De indulgentia”,“De spe et pensa”, and so on. They all begin with the word“Concordia”. In the Liber subtilatatum, the soulis invited to understand, and that is all that it is asked tounderstand.“Concordia” is the word that is associated with the Libersubtilatatum in the title “De concordia”, and thereforethe word is also appropriate to the first chapter of the Libersubtilatatum.
However, the Liber subtilitatum may be the work of a singleindividual. It is probable that Hildegard was an originaland creative thinker, one who sought to retain and improve her ownmedieval philosophy. The Liber subtilitatum is a commentaryon Epistola ad Hebraeos, and contains a set of Quadripartitum, in which every subsection consists offour propositions. The first of these is essentially an outline of the Causae written in the third person.
Both the Causae et curae and the Liber subtilitatum give thetheme of the cordis humilitatis, which is the humility of theheart. In the Causae et curae, Hildegard cites Exodus19:21 to make the point that “mundus est modestus et pudibilis etaliosus et decus,” Liber subtilitatum, p. 60. 827ec27edc
