medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Although I happen to live in Munich, I cannot answer John Mundy's question,
but can only supply some bibliography on this obscure saint:
Manz, Karl von:
Der selige Winthir von M"nchen-Neuhausen. Ein bayerischer Volksheiliger
(zwischen rund 1120 und 1360), in: Beitra"ge zur altbayerischen
Kirchengeschichte 28 (1974), p.97-128
Schrott, Ludwig:
Der selige Winthir zu Neuhausen [Mu"nchen1969], 3. Aufl. Mu"nchen: Schnell
& Steiner, 1990 (= Hagiographie, Ikonographie, Volkskunde, 40/102), 15 pp.
Pfretzschner, Albert:
Der selige Winthir von Neuhausen. Mirakelbericht von seinem Grab, in:
Oberbayerisches Archiv 85 (1962), p.85-94
Dall'Armi, Andreas Michael von:
Der selige Winthir zu Neuhausen bei Nymphenburg. Mu"nchen: Za"nge, 1822, 16 pp.
Best,
Otfried
