DIVISIO TEXTUS.
Supra egit Magister de productione hominis in comparatione ad principium extra; in hac vero parte agit de productione eius quantum ad principia constitutiva1, scilicet quantum ad corpus et animam. Dividitur autem ista pars in duas. In prima determinat de productione viri; in secunda vero de productione mulieris ex viro, infra: In eodem quoque paradiso mulierem formavit etc., distinctione decima octava, in principio.
Prima pars habet duas. In prima determinat de hominis formatione; in secunda de hominis formati2 locatione, ibi: Hominem autem ita formatum etc.
Prima pars habet duas. In prima determinat de productione animae in se; in secunda vero in relatione ad corpus, ibi: Sed utrum in corpore, an extra corpus etc.
Pars autem illa, in qua determinat de productione animae in se, habet duas. In prima determinat veritatem; in secunda removet errorem, ibi: Putaverunt enim quidam haeretici etc.
Similiter illa pars, in qua determinat de productione animae in comparatione ad corpus, habet duas. In prima determinat, utrum Deus creaverit animam in corpore, an extra corpus. In secunda quaerit, utrum Deus fecerit hominem in aetate perfecta, ibi: Solet etiam quaeri, utrum Deus hominem repente etc.
Similiter pars illa, in qua determinat de locatione iam formati, habet duas. In prima determinat de loco eius in se. In secunda vero determinat in comparatione ad contenta, ibi: In hoc autem paradiso erant ligna etc.
TRACTATIO QUAESTIONUM.

Tertio quaeritur, utrum producta fuerit ante corpus, vel post, sive in corpore, an extra.

# COMMENTARY ON DISTINCTION XVII. ## On the production of Adam with respect to his constituent principles.
Concerning the origin of the soul many things are wont to be asked, etc.
DIVISION OF THE TEXT.
Above, the Master treated of the production of man in relation to the principle from without; in this part, however, he treats of his production with respect to his constituent principles1, namely with respect to body and soul. Now this part is divided into two. In the first he determines concerning the production of the man; in the second concerning the production of the woman from the man, below: In the same paradise also he formed the woman etc., in distinction eighteen, at the beginning.
The first part has two [sections]. In the first he determines concerning the formation of man; in the second concerning the placing of the man already formed2, at: But the man having been thus formed etc.
The first part has two [sections]. In the first he determines concerning the production of the soul in itself; in the second concerning [its production] in relation to the body, at: But whether in the body, or outside the body etc.
Now that part in which he determines concerning the production of the soul in itself has two [sections]. In the first he determines the truth; in the second he removes an error, at: For certain heretics have supposed etc.
Likewise that part in which he determines concerning the production of the soul in relation to the body has two [sections]. In the first he determines whether God created the soul in the body or outside the body. In the second he asks whether God made man at the perfect age, at: It is also wont to be asked whether God [made] man all at once etc.
Likewise that part in which he determines concerning the placing of [man] already formed has two [sections]. In the first he determines concerning his place in itself. In the second he determines [it] in comparison with its contents, at: Moreover in this paradise there were trees etc.
TRACTATION OF QUESTIONS.
For the understanding of this part, a question arises here concerning the production of man with respect to two [things].
First, there is asked concerning the production of him insofar as it is on the part of the soul.
Second, insofar as it is on the part of the body.
Concerning the first, three [questions] are asked.
First, it is asked whether the soul of the first man was produced from the substance of God.
Second, it is asked whether it was produced from some matter.
Third, it is asked whether it was produced before the body, or after, or in the body, or outside.
