How to read the tree
- Top to bottom = time. Sinai at the top; the modern era at the bottom. Each horizontal band is a generation.
- Larger gold dots are generation headers (Tannaim, Amoraim, Rishonim…). Medium dots are individual sages. Small dots are concepts each sage is most known for.
- Pinch or scroll to zoom in on any branch; drag (or two-finger drag on touch) to pan around.
