While I have not made a systematic look for synonyms, when writing my
dictionary for my personal studies, I compared synonyms as part of trying to
understand word meanings.  I have over 1700 synonym links listed.

I hesitate to push my work as a definitive source, as synonyms were listed
only as an aid to lexicography.
