Here are some word clouds germane to my thesis, based on use of helig (holy, adj), heleklich (holy, adv), and selig (blessed) in the Mechthild von Magdeburg.



Nouns modified by helig (plus the verbal phrase helig sin, to be holy):

The same, minus the nomina sacra:



Adverbial use of heleklich



Helig and heleklich combined, minus Nomina Sacra:



Collocations with selig

(I also quite want to get one of these done as a T-shirt to wear when presenting on it, but I don't know if I dare in front of German academics....)

And a bonus: what's alleged to be this LJ (public entries). I'm not quite sure I believe it, though it's an alarming portrait of my state of mind:
