Evidence
This imagery was not just poetic fancy, but had an exactly definable sense: ‘regurgitating almost all the dregs of ancient heresies which, infected by the Devil, he had swallowed, with Sabellius he denied the Trinity, with his own Nestorius he rejected the divinity of Christ, with the Manicheans he disavowed the death of the Lord, although he did not deny His return to Heaven’. — Norman Daniel, Islam and the West, 1020
