<p> a female saint of the Romish Church, whose history is, in fact, a satire on Romish saintship. She is said to have been born at Nuitz, in the diocese of Cologne, towards the middle of the 12th century. Her father having made a vow to visit the Holy Land, she accompanied him, dressed in man's clothes, under the name of Joseph. Her father dying, however, on the way, he entrusted her to a man who, after conducting her to [[Jerusalem]] and back to Ptolemais, abandoned her in a state of destitution. After various vicissitudes, she came back to Cologne, entered the service of a canon, and finally, in 1185, retired to a Cistercian convent near Heidelberg, where she died April 20, 1188. She was known to the other monks only as [[Brother]] Joseph, and her sex was not discovered until after her death. The [[Cistercians]] commemorate her on the 20th of April. Her life was written by [[Caesarius]] of Heisterbach. See Baillet, Vies des Saints, April 20; the [[Bollandists]] Acta Sanct.; [[Richard]] et Giraud, Biblioth. Sacrae; Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. G neral, 24, 675. </p> | Hildegonde <ref name="term_44105" /> | ||
