There is a critical edition of an early(ish) vita of St. Modwenna, for which
the library computer here gives the following information:
AUTHOR: Modwenna, Saint. Legend.
TITLE: St. Modwenna. Edition begun by A. T. Baker and completed by
Alexander Bell.
PUBLISHED: Oxford, Pub. for the Anglo-Norman Text Society by B.
Blackwell, 1947.
DESCRIPTION: xxvii, 331 p. 23 cm.
OTHER NAMES: Baker, Alfred Thomas, 1873-1936, ed.
Bell, Alexander, ed.
SERIES: (t=) Anglo-Norman texts, 7
In light of Claire Labrecque's informative message about the plurality of
saints by this name, I hope I'm not steering you down the wrong lane.
