Octo pondera unde factus est Adam
prose
Short early medieval Latin treatise about the creation of Adam, the nature of the eight (or seven) cosmic components of which his body was made, and the four letters of his name. It has often been suggested that it ultimately derives from a Greek text of 2 Enoch 30: 8-9, although a Greek dialogue text of the Ioca monachorum kind has also been suggested as a possible source.
