Accepted answer

The Acta Sanctorum is an official collection of saints' lives by various authors used for their processes of beatification or canonization.

St. Dympna's vita is pp. 475-495 of Acta Sanctorum vol. 16; p. 476 says the author is the canon regular Peter of St. Aubert of Cambrai (Cameracensis):

Vitam S. Dympnæ scripsit Petrus Canonicus Regularis S. Autberti Cameracensis


Also, according to Fr. Butler's biography of her, this is another vita of her:

Molanus, Miræus, the Roman Martyrology, Henschenius, t. 3, Maij. p. 477
