NOTE 2.–The Nestorian Church was at this time and in the preceding
centuries diffused over Asia to an extent of which little conception is
generally entertained, having a chain of Bishops and Metropolitans from
Jerusalem to Peking. The Church derived its name from Nestorius, Patriarch
of Constantinople, who was deposed by the Council of Ephesus in 431. The
chief ‘point of the Faith’ wherein it came short, was (at least in its
most tangible form) the doctrine that in Our Lord there were two Persons,
one of the Divine Word, the other of the Man Jesus; the former dwelling in
the latter as in a Temple, or uniting with the latter ‘as fire with iron.’
_Nestorin_, the term used by Polo, is almost a literal transcript of the
Arab form _Nastri_. A notice of the Metropolitan sees, with a map, will
be found in _Cathay_, p. ccxliv.
