SWEDENBORG’S TRAVELS AND DIARIES.
in folio ; together with my Prodromus philosophiæ ratiocinantis
de Infinito, &c.*
From Leipzig I went afterwards to Cassel, and over all
the mines between that town and Schmalkalden. I then rode.
through Gotha to Brunswick, and thence to Hamburg ; and,
finally, returned to Stockholm, by way of Ystad. I reached
home in July, 1734, about the opening of the Diet.
It would be too prolix to mention all the learned men I
visited, and with whom I became acquainted during these
journeys, since I never missed an opportunity of doing so,
nor of seeing and examining libraries, collections, and other
objects of interest.
DOCUMENT 205.
SWEDENBORG’S JOURNAL OF TRAVEL
DURING 1733 AND 1734.†
1733.
On the 10th of May, 1733, under the Divine auspices
and with the permission of the most august King Frederic I,^
I set out for a third time on a journey to Germany. I left
* Prodromus philosophiæ ratiocinantis de Infinito et causa finali crea
tionis: deque Mechanismo operationis Animæ et Corporis ; this work was
translated into English by Dr. J. J. Garth Wilkinson and published in 1847
under the following title: "Outlines of a philosophical argument on the
Infinite, and the final cause of Creation; and on the Intercourse between
the Body and Soul."
The Latin original of this Journal is contained in Codex 88 of the
"Swedenborg MSS.," which are preserved in the Library of the Academy
of Sciences in Stockholm, from page 8 to page 109, and also on pages 214
and 215. It was published by Dr. Im. Tafel in the original language in
1840, under the title, Em. Swedenborgii Itinerarium, Sectio I; a friend
having written out a copy of the work for his use. A photo-lithographic
copy of the work is contained in Volume III, pp. 1 to 50, of the fac-simile
edition of Swedenborg’s Manuscripts, which was published in Stockholm in
1870, under the superintendence of the editor of these Documents. The
translation is made immediately from the photo-lithographic copy, as the
transcribed copy used by Dr. Im. Tafel was in some parts defective.
