Beatrice_of_Nazareth--Maurice_Edouard_Blondel

Beatrice of Nazareth (Dutch: Beatrijs van Nazareth; c. 1200 – 1268), also known as Beatrice of Tienen, was a Flemish Cistercian nun, visionary and mystic. Remembered chiefly through a medieval adaptation of her writings, of which the originals are now mostly lost, she is venerated as Blessed by the Catholic Church.
Beatrice's treatise Seven Ways of Holy Love is an early example of bridal mysticism. Long surviving only in Latin adaptation,
it was rediscovered in 1926, making it the earliest surviving work of mystical prose in Middle Dutch.
