Who taught whom
35 teaching links across 51 men, each with the sentence it is asserted on and where that sentence was read.
9 of these 51 the Church has condemned. Their teaching links are part of the record and are kept here rather than quietly dropped — the Arian crisis has a teacher behind it, and so does Nestorius. Where a man stands is marked on his name, every time it appears.
