A MS Excel (xlsx) file with the entire database is here:
Use as you like, but please acknowledge that I compiled and reformatted them and added new 20th century scholars, warts and all (and there will be warts). I have left it in MS Excel 2019 format (.xlsx) because that is the spreadsheet format I use from my copy of MS Office. If you do not have the ability to read .xlsx files, I can save it as an Excel 98/2003 xls file, which most spreadsheet programs can at least open up. A PDF was impractical, as it may not be easy to navigate (there are 500 cells in the Excel sheet, with frozen panes).
Yes, I got a lot of these texts from Ben's Text Excavation website, but also from BibleWorks 8 database files, some of which were user-defined data sets. The BW user files were in turn drawn from public domain English (mainly from authors featured in the ANF American series & NPNF series II). In copyright Greek and Latin Texts were used by permission (I hope). The modern stuff includes S Pines and a translation of "Agapius" in the Tertullian.org website and elsewhere.
Sorry to those for whom this is not your cup of tea. However, for those interested in examining the TF issue you got to have a good idea of the sources, their relative dates, and see the source languages (except Syriac or Slavonic). These are intended as guides for those reading scholarly discussions of these texts. They are assuming you already know these things, so please refrain from kneejerk reactions based on hunches. A lot of what we think we know is, well, wrong ...
