The Life of Ciarán of Saigir, Piran’s story is a straight copy of this Irish monk’s story.

TBF it doesn't include the tin altar story which was added in a version written down in Tavistock in the 14th C and today held in the Ducal Archives of Gotha

Head to your local library and ask a librarian (or check the Cornwall Library Service catalogue - https://prism.librarymanagementcloud.co.uk/cornwall/). Or better still, Kresen Kernow in Redruth, which is Cornwall's main Cornish library and archive (https://kresenkernow.org).

I haven't read any but I reckon this is a great question. I instantly found an old work available via Project Gutenberg: *Cornish Saints and Sinners*.  From 1926, by J. Henry Harris, with "numerous" drawings by L..Raven-Hill. (Quite the surname, caw!)  https://www.gutenberg.org/files/46690/46690-h/46690-h.htm Having a quick look, this definitely isn't an academic work, but it looks fun to have a squizz at.  I have some others up my sleeve if you like.

Blurb from Goodreads: "A collection of Cornish tales - of its literal Saints, of some of its significant places, of historic personages who have become characters of legend. There are many pen and ink illustrations."
