There's a reason for that -- the number of sources is small and they
are vague. You get the same effect in music; there's gobs of
information about ballads form the middle of the 17th century through
the modern era, but little before 1600, very little before 1550, etc.

I don't think anyone's written a modern book that has extensive
coverage of earlier stuff.  I'd suggest that you start by going
through the bibliography on the webpage and seeing what looks good.
