A LIST OF SWEDENBORG’S MSS. PUBLISHED IN
1782 BY A. J. PERNETY. 34*
This list, we may take it for granted, was forwarded to
Pernety by A. Nordensköld (see Introduction to Document 6,
Vol. I, p. 52 et seq.) ; and it describes the condition of these
MSS. before they were catalogued, and before the latter gentle
man had them properly bound at his own expense.
The theological MSS. of Swedenborg only are noticed in
this list; in the philosophical, Nordensköld does not seem to
have been interested at this time.
1. "A summary explanation of Leviticus, Numbers, and
Deuteronomy, in 2352 paragraphs ; of Joshua and Judges, in
405 ; of the books of Samuel and Kings in 448. Likewise an
explanation of Genesis and Exodus ; consisting altogether of
3 vols., folio, bound. [Codices 59 to 62 in the Official Cata
logue, Document 308.]
"The author seems to have composed these volumes before
the Arcana Coelestia, and before being called to his office.
2. "A summary exposition of Isaiah and Jeremiah, in 106
pages ; one volume, folio, bound. [Codex 63. Ibid.]
3. "A summary exposition of all the prophets and of the
psalms of David, with two tables ; about 50 pages, folio.
[Codex 1. Ibid.]
"This was probably written after 1758. The author said that
the angels were present when this MS. was read, and they
See his French translation of Swedenborg’s " Heaven and Hell," published
in Berlin in 1782 under the title : Les Merveilles du Ciel et de l’Enfer," &c.,
Vol. II, pp. 378 to 382.
