“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.”
