By definition such a list is impossible

Give dirth of publications, don't think there's enough time for even all of the Noone's[0] to review even a fraction of what's available.

In today's day & age more difficult for unpublished prints and/or pre-electronic distribution pre-prints to "be unknown" / "be obscure".
