N2 - A series of encyclopaedic notes at the end of Durham, Cathedral Library, A.iv.19, includes a question on the origin of warm and cold breath immediately following a text listing the eight parts of which Adam was made. The two types of breath, made of fire and wind, respectively, form the spiritus. By linking the question on warm and cold breath to the history of octipartite Adam texts it has become clear that the spiritus relates to the Stoic pneuma or "cosmic breath'', a Stoic concept of the soul, which forms the key to the juxtaposition of these two notes.
