Temptation Transformed: The Story of How the Forbidden Fruit Became an Apple

Yeah, the apple is never mentioned in the Adam and Eve story, all that’s mentioned is a “forbidden fruit” and that’s about it, but the apple imagery does not come from Paradise Lost, It actually comes from the Latin translation of the bible (Vulgate), where the word evil (as in the tree of good and evil) in Latin can also mean apple. Update: I had to dig into my older wish list, but I had this book recommended to me by a scholar a while back but I haven’t read it so I can’t attest to its quality.
