There was an extraordinarily useful chart that was included in the second edition of the Oxford Annotated Bible which, for some unfathomable reason, is lacking from the third edition. The chart was created by Bruce M. Metzger, and is found on page AP xiii. I recreate it here below, with the addition of another row, “Scholarly Literature,” in which I’ve added the list of standard English-language scholarly references
to these books.
