Didymus the Blind and his students

Four students of the blind teacher of Alexandria, and the second teacher two of them had. 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. The chapter calls them his students and friends, and the arrow is the site’s teaching link. Apollinaris of Laodicea taught Jerome, and the Church has condemned him; his name is marked, as on every page here. The glossary explains the terms; see also who taught whom.
