This table grew out of an ISO Latin-1 Character Set overview related to the Hyper-G Text Format (HTF). The entity names &brkbar; and Đ seem to be unique to HTF.
There is a list on Entities representing particular graphic characters with special meanings in HTML and a list on the ISO Latin 1 Entities in HTML made available by the folks at CERN (derived from ISO 8879). [These seem to the ones currently known by Mosaic 2.4 for X.] Or look at the end of Appendix I of CERN's HTML+ Discussion Document for another list of the mnemonic character entities for 8 bit ANSI Latin-1.
The Appendix II contains a table of the proposed character entities for HTML+ and their corresponding character codes for Unicode and the Adobe Latin-1 & Symbol character sets.
Maybe also of interest to you is the ISO 8859-1 FAQ by Michael Gschwind (mike@vlsivie.tuwien.ac.at). And I found a table over the compose combinations for X11R5 on SunOS systems (also available with entities where possible). It's taken from the MIT X sources in server/ddx/sun/Compose.list.
Finally you could have a look at RFC 1345: Character Mnemonics & Character Sets by K. Simonsen (06/11/92, 103 pages, approx. 240 kbyte).
