Perhaps the book on the origin and development of the dormition and assumption narratives about Mary is that of Stephen Shoemaker, The Ancient Traditions of the Virgin Mary's Dormition and Assumption (Oxford University Press). Happily, the kindle edition, at the time of writing, is available at a bargain price of $9.96. For those interested in Mariology, this volume is an absolute must.
