  • Beatrijs, was a poem written in last quarter of 14th century (ca. 1374), possibly by Diederic van Assenede, and is an original Dutch poem about the legend of a nun who deserted her convent for the love of a man, who lives with him for seven years and has two children. When their money is low he deserts her, and she becomes a prostitute to support her children for another seven years. One day she is near her old convent so inquires discretely what has become of the nun Beatrijs, and learns that people think Beatrijs is still at the convent. One night a voice urges her to return to the convent, and when she returns, Beatrijs learns that Mary (mother of Jesus) has been acting in her role at the convent, and she can return without anyone knowing of her absence. The Dutch poem was created out of a legend recorded in Latin, Dialogus Miraculorum (1219-1223) and Libri Octo Miraculorum (1225-1227) written by Caesarius von Heisterbach. Although Hilka claims that Caesarius von Heisterbach was not the true author of the latter text, as Duinhoven points out, he was certainly the author of record during the middle ages. The subject matter is possibly of Dutch origin during his travels in the Netherlands. However the Dutch version was not a word-for-word translation. The tale was translated also into German, French, Spanish, Old Norse and Arabic.
  • A Beatrijs németalföldi, páros rímű verssorokban íródott Szűz Mária-legenda a 13. századból. Első fennmaradt kézirata a 14. századból származik. Valószínűleg a flandriai Assenede kolostorában írták, így talán Diederic van Assenede a szerzője. A kolostorból megszökött, családanyává lett, majd elhagyott és elzüllött apácáról szóló történet – amely főbb vonalaiban Caesarius van Heisterbach Dialogus miraculorum (Párbeszéd a csodákról, 1223) című munkáját követi – s melynek boldog végkimenetele, hogy a mindig szeretet-vezérelte apáca visszatér kolostorába, ahol 15 éven át Szűz Mária töltötte be észrevétlenül a helyét. A munka sok kitűnően megírt, igen realisztikus társadalomkritikai részletet tartalmaz.
  • Beatrijs is een Middelnederlandse Maria-legende uit de veertiende eeuw. Het enige handschrift waarin de legende overgeleverd is, dateert van kort voor 1374 en wordt bewaard in de Koninklijke Bibliotheek in Den Haag onder signatuur 76 E 5. Omdat het oorspronkelijke werk geen titel had, geeft men aan het stuk meestal de naam van het hoofdpersonage, Beatrijs.
