The Most Exhaustive for Psalm Tunes and Authors

William Cowan & James Love, The Music of the Church Hymnary and the Psalter in Metre: its Sources and Composers  (Edinburgh: Henry Frowde, 1901)

James Moffatt & Millar Patrick – Handbook to the Church Hymnary, with Supplement  (Oxford, 1935)

See especially the Supplement.  This is the most exhaustive though it is missing a few of the tunes in Scottish Psalmody.
