An adherent of Nestorius, patriarch of Constantinople in the
fifth century, who was condemned as a heretic for maintaining
that the divine and the human natures were not merged into
one nature in Christ (who was God in man), and, hence, that
it was improper to call Mary the mother of God though she
might be called the mother of Christ; also, one of the sect
established by the followers of Nestorius in Persia, India,
and other Oriental countries, and still in existence. Opposed
to Eutychian.
