Overview

From Wikipedia, quoted unmodified under CC BY-SA 4.0; the article’s history is its list of authors.

Founders

Named as founders

Who the records name as founding it.

What this means

An attribution, usually recorded long afterwards and often contested — not a claim that it began fully formed, or that everyone who belongs to it accepts the attribution. An order, a church or a dynasty named as founder is listed by name rather than drawn: an arch is for a likeness.

More institutions in Christianity

The institutions this collection holds nearest in date, in their order.

What this means

Listed because they are institutions in Christianity, as this one is, dated close to it — not because either record names the other. Being on the same shelf is not a connection, an influence or a sequence.
