I ran across a chart in Robert I. Bradshaw’s Creationism & the Early Church who in turn had cited as sources Robert C. Newman’s The Ancient Exegesis of Genesis 6:2, 4 (GTJ, Vol. 5.1, 1984 AD: 13-36) and Richard J. Bauckham’s Jude, 2 Peter (WBC, Vol. 50., Waco: Texas, 1983 AD, 51).
I have added some references to it, made some corrections and added footnotes.
It notes which early commentators, both Jewish and Christian, held to the Angel view of the Genesis 6 affair, as I term it, and which held to other views which mostly consist of the Sethite view or misc. (such as Noblemen view, Judges view, etc.).
The date range is from 250 BC to the 5th century AD. Out of 39 authors the results are: 25: Angel view 10: Misc. views
4: uncertain
Also, some would add Jude and Peter to the list on Angels view holders as per Jude 6-7 and 2 Peter 2:4-6.
Consider this a work in progress.
