The frequency of source references
This would be a standard way of saying that there are a lot of retellings of the legend that claim to have got it from a specified source. Not sure how that fits into your context.
eg
"Includes source references and many illustrations"

density of references
... might be one way to go about this one - see, for example,
http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/Keith/Preface.html
"... I had to face the problem of balancing clarity of exposition with ***density of references***. I was tempted to give large numbers of references but was afraid they would have destroyed the continuity of the text. I have tried to steer a middle course and not compete with the Annual Review of Information Science and Technology. ..."

"... Nor does this exhaust the potential of wings which Davidson goes on to relate to the turkey wing Elaine consumes, Stephen's favourite song "A Wing and a Prayer," and his fall from the hijacked plane. While the more sophisticated reader will appreciate the ***density of references***, the novice may well find the rate of connection too rapid and allusive. Still, both Davidson and Thompson attempt, in their differing ways, to educate the reader to a sympathetic understanding of both victims and victimizers in these contemporary texts. ..."

: i think both of these refer to the amount of footnotes in specific texts, not the number of references which exist (everywhere) about that particular subject/Hello again - in reply to your question, i think "high incidence of references" would work.

You may have a point here but perhaps "density of references" might fit here as well? If not, how about "incidence of references"?
