George,
It would be interesting to trace that hagiographic motif of the (monastic?)
saint ceasing to perform posthumous miracles out of obedience to a
(monastic?) superior (or fellow-monks) distracted by them; there must be an
article devoted to it somewhere. B. de Gaiffier would have loved to trace
its travels.
