Provisional Notes Defending Catholicism against Martin Luther. Knuvelder, p. 89: "Een groot deel van de refreinen van van A.B. blijft nog immer leesbaar door zijn eenvoud en zuiverheid van taal. Zij schrijft soms werkelijk beeldend en suggestief. Haar beste fragmenten - gehéél gave gedichten zijn moeilijk te vinden - treft men aan onder de liefdesrefreinen." Buck: "Bijns wrote poetry in the style of the rhetoricians; her motto was: "Sour rather than sweet". " Lauwerkrans
