ANALYSIS OF STOCKHOLM MSS.
that the following authorities have said on the nature of the soul,
viz., Plato, Aristotle, Augustinus, Grotius, Leibnitz, Wolf, Male
branche, Descartes, Rydelius, Bilfingerus, and the Sacred Scripture.
In Codex 37 are added to this list Cicero, Plautus, and Florus.
The extracts from the Sacred Scripture have been reproduced
by the photo-lithographic process, as Section XIV, Vol. III of
Swedenborg’s Photo-lithographed MSS . See pages 491 to 496.
2. Abstracts of Mathematics and Physics on pages 222 to 228,
and also 247 to 249.
A photo-lithographic copy of these abstracts is contained in
Section XI of the same volume, where it fills pages 175 to 179.
3. Various philosophical and theological subjects which are
scattered through the Codex, have been photo-lithographed as
Section XII of the above volume, pages 180 to 183.
The subjects treated of are the destruction of the earth ; the
nature of human philosophy;* definitions of wisdom; natural religion;
a first attempt at giving the internal sense of the Lord’s prayer.
4. Swedenborg’s first investigation into the nature of the cor
respondences and representatives of the Sacred Scriptures, which is
scattered through the volume from pp. 204 to 267. For further
particulars, see Document 313, "Introduction to Rational Psychology,”
between 1740 and 1742.
This constitutes Section XIII of the photo-lithographed volume
mentioned above, pp. 183 to 191.
5. Various prospectuses, tables of contents, and digests of the
Regnum Animale, which are photo-lithographed in Section XVIII
of Vol. VI of Swedenborg’s Photo-lithographed MSS., pp. 349
to 353. These prospectuses are thoroughly discussed in Docu
ment 313, Economia Regni Animalis, 1738-1740.
"Codex 37.-Index Variorum Philosophicorum."
This Codex we do not find recorded in the Original Catalogue
of Swedenborg’s heirs ; unless it be "Theological Writings, no. 11 ,
Vol. VIII," which Dr. Im. Tafel supposes to be a fifth volume of
the "Index to the Adversaria and the Diary" (Codices 42 to 45),
which has been lost.†
Its contents are Definitions in Metallurgy, Mining, Chemistry,
Botany, Anatomy, Ontology, with excerpts from Cicero, Plautus,
Florus (see Codex 36, no. 1 ), and from the works of Wolf. It
consists of 263 pages, small oblong folio.
This article is translated in Note 166, I.
See his Preface to the "Adversaria," Vol. I, p. iv.
