Is Princeton Academia, by any chance, the University of Princeton? You can check whether we already have the articles you want to link to by following the interwiki links from the relevant English page. If I've guessed right, look at the interwiki links on the left side of the page en:University of Princeton. That would lead you to the Latin page under its current name.

How does this Academia come to be the most authoritative source for the definition of the "Tree of Knowledge"? The approach seems a bit Americocentric. A neutral observer might think the book of Genesis deserves citing a good way ahead of the Princeton Academia. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 15:24, 28 Aprilis 2009 (UTC)Reply

The cited source appears to be a lexical database managed by students & staff at Princeton University. Even if it has pertinent information to offer, it's hardly the first thing that would be mentioned in a well-shaped encyclopedia article. Compare the beginning of this article with the beginning of its counterpart in German:
Der Baum der Erkenntnis von Gut und Böse (hebr. עץ הדעת טוב ורע °ez had-da°at tôb wâ-râ, griech. τὸ ξύλον τοῦ εἰδέναι γνωστὸν καλοῦ καὶ πονηροῦ, lat. lignum sapientiae boni et mali) ist ein Baum in der Paradieserzählung des Buches Genesis der Bibel. Er befindet sich zusammen mit dem Baum des Lebens in der Mitte des Paradiesgartens (Garten Eden) (Gen 2,9 EU). Gott verbot den Menschen, von dessen Früchten zu essen (Gen 2,17 EU).
The biblical text, not opinions expressed on a website at Princeton, is the primary source. IacobusAmor (disputatio) 19:09, 24 Iunii 2020 (UTC)Reply
