Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Marvelous History of Mary of Nimmegen: Who for More Than Seven Year Lived and Had Ado With the Devil
The miracle play of Mary ofnimmegen is one of the gems of Dutch mediaeval literature. Its heroine is a reincarnation of Beatrice, the runaway nun from a Brabant convent who, after wandering seven years with her paramour, and living other seven as a public woman, returned, a repentant sinner, to the convent to find that she had never been missed. For all those fourteen years the Mother of God had served, in her person, as sacristan, because Beatrice had never let a day go by without praying an Ave Maria.
