About trees of the East.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There are trees in the East, as Iacobus says, which carry the most beautiful fruits yellow in color, in which as if the bite of a man with his teeth appears plainly; and therefore, the fruits are called Adam by all. And this (is) a remarkable (thing), because God still wished to point out the crime of the first man for mortal (ones) in the offspring of a fruit.<\/p>\n citrinus, a, um \u2013 lemon yellow, orange colored<\/p>\n demonstro, are, avi, atus, 1st<\/sup> conj \u2013 to point out, indicate, show, designate<\/p>\n dens, dentis, m. – tooth<\/p>\n idcirco \u2013 therefore, for that reason<\/p>\n manifeste \u2013 plainly, distinctly<\/p>\n mirus, a, um \u2013 remarkable, strange, wonderful<\/p>\n morsus, morsus, m. \u2013 bite<\/p>\n oriens, orientis, m. \u2013 the East<\/p>\n pomum, i, n. \u2013 fruit, apple<\/p>\n Iacobus:<\/em> Iacobus de Vitriaco, a French theologian<\/p>\n\n\n\n que:<\/em> actually quae<\/p>\n\n\n\n colore:<\/em> ablative of quality<\/p>\n\n\n\n dentibus:<\/em> ablative of origin or means<\/p>\n\n\n\n poma Adam:<\/em> there is no evidence of an Adam fruit.
