“Conclusion”
p.129: mentions Nedermünster “and its daughter house Mallersdorf, where the Irish nun Leukardis copied a number of books - all of which are now lost. [note 2:] [...] Mallersdorf was dependent upon Niedermünster from 1109 to 1129. The monastery joined the Hirsau reform in 1122; Mallersdorf was one of several monasteries that came under Irish (called Scottish at the time) influence during the twelfth century. Leukardis may have joined the community as a part of an influx of religious women and men from Ireland.”
Leukardis of MallersdorfLeukardis of Mallersdorf
(s. xii)
A 12th-century nun of Mallersdorf, a daughter-house of Niedermünster in Bavaria, who according to one late source, was of Irish origin (de gente Scotorum), knew four languages (Irish, Latin, Greek and German) and had a reputation as a scribe, so much so that the monk Laiupold recorded her anniversary.
