The History of the MIMMASA School

The MIMMASA school, like most of the schools we're looking at in this period, is not a monolithic tradition. It subdivides and has a historical development. Could you just give us a quick outline of how MIM MASA splits into different subjects? The oldest text we have are the Pudvami Manasa Sutra - attributed to Daimini. Then, after Daimini, the next level we have is Shabara who wrote a pasture on it,. But Shabara refers constantly to early commentators whose work is lost.
