I think only if Professor Jestice were to provide the sources for each and
every one of her entries. She sends these out to the readers of the list as
a kindness and for "fun".  She usually cites sources such
" David Farmer has a column about Mylor in his Oxford Dictionary of Saints
(4th ed.)  He cites as his sources: Nova Legenda Angliae, ed. C. Horstman
(1901) vol. 2, pp. 183-5
 G.H. Doble, The Saints of Cornwall (1964), vol. 3, pp. 20-52"
   Occasionally, an entry will spark further discussion or clarification
from someone else. When it does, I try to gather all the pertinent comments
and forward them in one package later.
