I have only been able to find a list of skeletal muscles of the human body so far. I'm surprised that there are 4000 tendons even though they are only ~640 muscles: most muscles that I am aware of are attached to fewer than six tendons.

The FMA lists 705 tendons, but note that it includes separate terms for left and right instances. As @kmm says, many of these simply shadow the list of skeletal muscles (and is likely incomplete).
You can browse the list on OLS, or if you want to extract a table you can query this SPARQL endpoint, just type in the query here:
SELECT ?x ?v0 WHERE
?x <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#subClassOf>+
<http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/FMA_9721> .
OPTIONAL ?x <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label> ?v0

Your best bet is the Terminologia Anatomica, which is the international standard for anatomical terminology.
The 1998 edition is freely available. It lists only a few named tendons though, which is consistent with my experience as an anatomist: very few tendons are named separately from the muscles to which they are connected. Central tendon of the diaphragm, conjoint tendon, and calcaneal tendon are a few.
Otherwise, it's just "tendon of biceps brachii" (which actually has 2 tendons at one end and one at the other).
4,000 seems like a too high number to me. 2x the 640ish muscles plus some extra for multi-headed muscles and those with internal tendons or aponeurotic tendons seems like a more reasonable estimate.
