Is there a compendium of enlightenment stories (about Arhats and/or Bodhisattvas)?

score:4

Yes. For the Theravada tradition's stories of the elder monks and nuns, please see the following books of the Khuddaka Nikaya (the minor collection):

Theragatha (Verses of the Elder Monks) or here
Therigatha (Verses of the Elder Nuns) or here
Thera Apadana (Past Life Legends of the Elder Monks)
Theri Apadana (Past Life Legends of the Elder Nuns)

For e.g. you can read the story of Sunita the Outcaste who became an arhat elder.
