Dear Ron,
Thanks for introducing yourself. I have once done a little research
myself into frauds relating to pilgrimages, but with a somewhat
different orientation from yours. For pilgrimages in general, see:
Linda Kay DAVIDSON / Maryjane DUNN-WOOD, Pilgrimage in the Middle
Ages: A Research Guide, Garland medieval bibliographies, 16 (New
York, 1993)
Ronald C. FINUCANE, Miracles and Pilgrims: Popular Beliefs in
Medieval England (London, 1977)
Jonathan SUMPTION, Pilgrimage: An Image of Medieval Religion (London,
1975)
For frauds, especially false pilgrims, see:

As far as a comprehensive list of relics is concerned, I'm afraid
there is no such thing, and I would expect it to be quite infeasible.
But I'm sure there are others on this list who can help you.
Cheers, Christoph
