Another to add to the list is Cotton Mather. Reiner Smolinski, who has been a great support of The Matthew Poole Project, I might add, is republishing Mather's Biblia Americana.

Here are some comments which may also be of interest concerning some of the older full-length Bible commentators:
Edward Bickersteth, The Christian Student, Designed to Assist Christians in General in Acquiring Religious Knowledge. With a List of Books Suitable for a Minister's Library (1830), pp. 293-294:
Matthew Poole's Synopsis: "Poole's Synopsis is very valuable."
Matthew Poole's Annotations: "Judicious and full."
John Brown of Haddington's Self-Interpreting Bible: "Short evangelical notes and reflections, and a useful introduction."
John Gill: "Valuable for Rabbinical learning; a variety of meanings suggested; Calvinistic in sentiment."
Matthew Henry: "Very practical and edifying, lively, sound, and devotional."
English Annotations: "Sometimes furnish valuable remarks, not in other Commentaries."
John Mayer: "A Synopsis of the best preceding Commentators, with additions of his own."
John Trapp: "...contains many useful remarks with much quaint wit."
John Diodati: "Often has spiritual and evangelical remarks of much value."
Johannes Piscator: "Many good hints in these Commentaries."
David Pareus: "Have too much of what is valuable to be omitted in this list."
John Calvin: "...of inestimable value to every minister."
