Notes

"Bp. of Constantinople from 428 to 431."1 In hagiography: Nestorius of Constantinople was a doctor of the Church of the East. "Nestorius was dyophysite patriarch of Constantinople and subscribed to controversial Christological positions. He argued that the Virgin Mary should not be called "Mother of God", but only "Mother of Christ". Some, such as Cyril of Alexandria, interpreted this as a diminution of Christ's divinity. His opponents eventually achieved that Nestorius was condemned and deposed at the council of Ephesus in 431. He was sent into exile to Egypt where he died about 20 years later. In the later miaphysite tradition, he was portrayed as an arch-heretic who had supposedly divided Christ into two distinct beings, the man Jesus and the divine Logos, who had not been with Jesus from birth, but only infused him at a later point."12
