Links record what each guide states about its own origins: founders, teachers, parent schools, adaptations, integrations and reactions. They are the guides' own accounts, not an independent history. Names were matched across guides where they clearly referred to the same school, person or tradition; surnames given alone were left separate. Dates given only by century use the century's first year.
