    Positions and faith

    Read this section as the report of the sources, not as a museum ruling.

    No consulted source names a legal school or theological affiliation for him personally; the sources describe his teachers and his fields of study, which are not a school attestation. His faith is therefore recorded as unknown. 1 2
