Dear Brother Stephen
In addition to the references already supplied, there are some older works
which are quite useful:

Jacqueline Lafontaine-Dosogne, Iconographie de l'enfance de la Vierge dans
l'empire byzantine et en Occident, 2 vols (Brussels: Academie Royale de
Belgique, 1964-5)
an odd little book with the occasional nugget, but with very few
references, is Myles V. Ronan, Saint Anne: Her Cult and Her Shrines
(London and Edinburgh: Sands, 1927)
and more modern publications:
