You could have a look at:
Devotio moderna : basic writings / translated and introduced
by John Van Engen ; preface by Heiko A. Oberman.
New York : Paulist Press, c1988.
To quote the introduction: "About one-quarter of the texts were translated
from Middle Dutch alone ... one-half exist in both Middle Dutch and Latin
versions, and both were used"
Good luck.
