In book X of his De Genesi ad litteram, Augustine devotes extensive reflection to the origin of the souls of Eve and Adam’s successor, that, in its initial part, is viewed by most scholars as unclear and not linear. The article proposes an analysis of chapters 1-5 of book X, in which three hypotheses on the origin of the human souls are set out and discussed, in order to highlight the logic and demonstrate the consistency of Augustine’s argumentation.

Abstract
In book X of his De Genesi ad litteram, Augustine devotes extensive reflection to the origin of the souls of Eve and Adam’s successor, that, in its initial part, is viewed by most scholars as unclear and not linear. The article proposes an analysis of chapters 1-5 of book X, in which three hypotheses on the origin of the human souls are set out and discussed, in order to highlight the logic and demonstrate the consistency of Augustine’s argumentation.File in questo prodotto:
