had two daughters; one of whom, Eva Schwede, was married in
1714 to Johan Rosenadler,61 and the other, Catharina Schwede (see
Documents 12 and 18), was married in 1730 to Jochim von Nerés,105
Councillor of Chancery. Brita survived both her daughters, the
former having died in 1717, the latter in 1735.
NOTE 51.
JOHAN ROSENADLER .
Johan Rosenadler, who before he was ennobled in 1719 bore
the name of Upmarck. In his capacity of Censor of the Press he
became intimately connected with all Swedish authors and writers,
and among them with Bishop Swedberg, with whom moreover he
was connected by the ties of friendship and relationship through his
marriage with Eva Schwede, daughter of Brita Behm (see Note 50).
Twenty -four letters (Documents 11 to 24), addressed by Swedberg to
Rosenadler, bear witness of a friendly relation between them . To
wards the Bishop’s son, Emanuel, who was a student at Upsal while
Rosenadler filled the post of professor there, he seems to have been
less drawn; at least in 1709 Swedenborg wrote concerning him to
Ericus Benzelius (see Document 36), “ Professor Upmarck for some
reason or other seems to be angry with me, after having, towards
the close, often shown himself dissatisfied with me ; all this I had
heard before, and I quite understand it; but I hope my fates will
not continue so unpropitious that he will always remain thus
unapproachable to me." That Swedenborg, however, bore no grudge
of any kind towards Rosenadler appears from Document 47, where
he, in 1715, writes, “I am exceedingly glad to hear that Professor
Upmarck and sister Eva Schwede are united in thalamo et lecto ; I
wish them every kind of happiness. I had intended to celebrate the
occasion in a carmen nuptiale, but as it is now too late, it will
probably be a carmen geniale.” Nevertheless Johan Rosenadler came
afterwards into unpleasant personal relations with Swedenborg, as he
was obliged to represent his mother-in-law Brita Behm in the law
suits which she carried on with her nephew (see Document 132). In
his public capacity Rosenadler was much respected and revered by
his fellow -countrymen ; and his critics characterize him as “ the most
eloquent speaker of whom Swedish literature can boast.”
The “ Swedish Biographical Lexicon ” says respecting him, “He
was born at Upsal in 1664, and devoted himself from his early
boyhood to the study of the sciences and of many European languages;
