Bilihildis (also spelled Bilihilt, Bilhild, Bilehild; died 734) was a Frankish noblewoman, remembered as the founder and abbess of the monastery of Altmünster near Mainz, and venerated locally as a saint. ==Biography== The biography of Saint Bilihildis is difficult to establish; firm evidence of her existence only goes back to the 12th century, according to Andreas Meier.〔Meier 342.〕 Her ''vitae'' date from after 1060 and, in the absence of other evidence, form the basis for her biography.〔 There are five distinct ''vitae'', the most important of which are: *a short, Latin version in prose, preserved in two manuscripts from the 13th and the 14th century *a longer prose version likewise preserved in two manuscripts, from the 14th and the 15th century (possibly modeled on hagiographical texts on Frankish queen and saint Radegund, and certainly indebted to ''vitae Kiliani''〔Flug 51-52.〕) *a group of locally preserved texts in the vernacular *a metrical (Latin) version, the ''Vita metrica auctore Herbelone'', first printed at the end of the 18th century and based on a now-lost manuscript.〔Flug 43.〕 Brigitte Flug considers the short Latin prose version (written in the Merovingian style) to be the earliest, though she denies it could have been written within living memory.〔Flug 47.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bilihildis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
