Shlama Akhi Michael,
I'm not sure what is meant by 'universalist.'
The Byzantine Emperor Zeno closed down the school of Edessa because it sided with the two-nature party in the Christological disputes. The dean, faculty and all the students moved into Persia and re-founded the school in Nisibin in Persian Territory (also spelled Nisibis.) Perhaps this is why the author connected the two schools.
