the reference appears in a mid-11th cn copy of Adso's De antichristo in
which the author is discussing how the antichrist will be born -- of human
copulation and not of a virgin. the addition notes "not as some say, from
a bishop and a monk" (he's supposed to be jewish, as jerry falwell reminded
us last year). i remember the text from a note in the Migne edition and
assume it's in Verhelst's modern edition, altho it's not immediately
available to me.
