A DISPUTATION: HOW LONG ADAM and Eve remained in Paradise.1
DISPUTATIO QUANDIU ADAM & Eva commorati sint in Paradiso.
Ex his verbis quaestio existit nec facilis explicatu, & dignissima iucundissimaque cognitu quanto tempore Adam & Eva in Paradiso commorati fuerint, utrum diuturna, an brevis atque adeo ne unius quidem diei eorum in Paradiso fuerit mansio.
From these words arises a question neither easy to explain, and most worthy and most pleasant to know: for how long a time Adam and Eve remained in Paradise — whether their stay in Paradise was long, or brief, and indeed not even of one day.2
