The School of Alexandria, who taught whom

The School of Alexandria in two lines of teachers and students. Every box has a number, and the number opens the sentence it rests on.

An arrow is drawn only where a cited sentence says it. No sentence in the chapters read for this joins Clement to Origen, so there is no arrow between the two chains. Where a man stands is marked on his name, as on every page here. The glossary explains the terms; see also who taught whom.
