Dear Paolo,
The centre of Irish monasticism in Bavaria was Regensburg. The only
book in English that comes to mind is Mark Dilworth's Scots in Franconia
1974, which in spite of its title will touch on Bavaria. An excellent
source of knowledge on such matters is Professor Ludwig Hammermayer,
accessible through the Department of History at Munich University. I
have a publication of his at home, the title of which escapes me. If
your German is good read the introduction to my Karl der Grosse und die
schottischen Heiligen, Deutsche Texte des Mittelalters 71 (I think), and
that to Padraig A. Breatnach's Regensburger Schottenlegende, Munich
1977. Unless somebody else comes up with additional information in the
meantime I can come back to you on this.
Best wishes - Frank Shaw
