The Syllabus is a catalogue. Each of its eighty propositions is stated as the error it is, followed by a reference to the papal document in which it had been condemned, so that the teaching intended is the contrary of what is printed. The propositions are grouped under ten headings, from pantheism to “modern liberalism”.

It is cited in this wiki for what Rome rejected in the years before the First Vatican Council. Each condemnation has to be read with the document it refers to.
