user471: On this page, you can find quotes from the Pali Canon on jhanas together with their sources.
For further commentary on jhanas, please see this page.
This question may also help you.

user10100: In advance, the whole tipitaka is about jhāna, include sīla&vinaya.
For more focusing, see paṭisambhidāmagga.
For the summary, see Path of Purification (Visuddhimagga).
For more focusing, except 1st and 2nd chapter of Visuddhimagga, then all chapters, after that, is about jhāna, ārammaṇūpanijjhāna&lakkhaṇūpanijjhāna.
