"Manuscript 2 of the Landes- und Hochschulbibliothek at Wiesbaden contains in the Epistolarium of Hildegard of Bingen a letter that has never been edited as it is in this codex. It deals with the answer to a letter of her secretary Volmar, abbot of the monastery on the Rupertusberg, in which he describes the feelings of grief the members of the convent may experience on the possible demise of their mother superior, who is at this time more than seventy years old. Hildegard's answer assembles various earlier texts, so that this letter present in Wiesbaden MS 2 will provide consolation for the sisters and at the same time serve as her prophetic last will."-- Publisher description.
