Du Cange s. vv.), a name which was perhaps suggested by a metaphor in De an. 19, where the soul is described" velutsurculusquidam exmatriceAdaminpropaginem deducta."

Jerome condemned it, and said that creatianism was the opinion of the Church, though he admitted that most of the Western Christians held traducianism.
