225-405: Is due to Eve, addressing the serpent , and not to Adam. In his Divine Comedy (c. 1308–1320), however, Dante changes his view to another that treats the Adamic language as the product of Adam.

Dante concludes ( Paradiso XXVI) that Hebrew

Traditional Jewish exegesis such as Midrash says that Adam spoke the Hebrew language because the names he gives Eve – Isha and Chava – only make sense in Hebrew.
