أصول السرخسي · Uṣūl al-Sarakhsī: debate map, reading version

This is the plain reading version of the debate map, for e-ink readers and slow devices. It records Sarakhsī's exposition, including what he reports of others; it does not verify those reports or say where the madhhab later settled. Lines tagged [Editorial] are not the book. Page refs = al-Afghānī ed. (Hyderabad), vol/page. Quotes are verbatim, checked against two witnesses. The interactive map is here.
