ANALYSIS OF STOCKHOLM MSS.
3. The treatise entitled De Mundo Spirituali consists of mis
cellaneous articles which occupy the thirty following pages of
Codex 12.
The subjects treated of are as follows: "Leibnitz and Wolf,
Newton, London, the Moravians, the Jews, the Dutch, the Moravians
in London;" further, "The love of knowing, food, degrees and the
spiritual world [a most important paper], the English, marriage and
adultery." This MS. contains further a chapter wherein it is proved
that "doing good without struggling against evils, is doing good
from self and not from the Lord ;" and it closes with several para
graphs on Faith, containing the outline of the "Doctrine of Faith,"
published in 1763. Respecting the place which this MS. occupies
among Swedenborg’s writings, see Document 313, nos. 112 and 115.
This MS. was printed by Dr. Im. Tafel in the Diarium Spiri
tuale, Part VII, Appendix 1 , pages 84 to 117 , intermixed with
paragraphs belonging to treatises 1, 2, and 4, of Codex 12 ; he used
for this purpose the copy which was brought to England by Wadström
in 1788. A photo-lithographic copy of the original MS. fills pages 97
to 120 of the Photo-lithographed MSS., Section IV, Vol. VIII.
4. On the six concluding pages of Codex 12, which are partly
blank, are contained the outlines of a work on the "Precepts of the
Decalogue," which was to consist of seven chapters. Stray para
graphs on the same subject are scattered through Treatise 3. See
also Document 313. no. 114.
The substance written on the six pages was published by Dr. Im.
Tafel from the original MS. in the Diarium Spirituale, Part VII,
Section 2, pp. 38 to 41. The stray paragraphs on the same subject
he printed from A. Nordensköld’s copy on pp. 107, 112, and 114,
of Appendix or Section 1.
The photo-lithographic reproduction of all the materials belonging
to this projected work occupies pp. 121 to 124 of Swedenborg’s
Photo-lithographed MSS., Section IV, Vol. VIII.
"Codex 13.- De Divino Amore."
This is the original of the treatises on "Divine Love" and "Divine
Wisdom," published as an appendix to the Apocalypsis Explicata.
It contains 72 pages in large oblong folio. Mr. Hindmarsh published
it in 1789 from a copy made under the superintendence of A.
Nordensköld, which was brought to England in 1783 by his brother
C. F. Nordensköld. The copy seems to agree on the whole with
the original MS., but on p. 73 the subject of the creation is dis
cussed in the form of a few general statements, filling about half a
page, which have not been copied by Nordensköld’s amanuensis.
