ANALYSIS OF STOCKHOLM MSS.
borg MSS. It is the last he wrote before his death. The original
I have in hand, but I shall not send it, until it is required; perhaps
in summer when an opportunity offers. Meanwhile the copy itself
may be examined carefully by Adjunct’ Knös,236 or Pastor Tybeck,302
and put into such a shape that it may be printed abroad as a
Supplement to the Coronis ; or together with the Coronis in a new
edition which they intend to issue in England.- I have not spoken
quite truly. The original is in Stockholm in narrow oblong folio
volumes bound in parchment, marked no. 50 and also no. 48 in the
Academy of Sciences. I am anxious that this copy should be most
carefully examined, and afterwards printed together with the Coronis.
I am unable to find more that belongs to a Supplement to the Coronis."
When this statement of A. Nordensköld is carefully considered,
it appears plainly that the "Summary of the Coronis" was originally
in Codex 48, but was afterwards torn out. That this Codex was
intact at the time when it was delivered by Swedenborg’s heirs to
the Academy, appears from the circumstance that they gave a pretty
accurate account of the contents of the volume, but did not mention
the fact of five leaves being torn out ; which, nevertheless, is a very
palpable fact in connection with it. But if these leaves were
not then torn out, it follows that the "Summary of the Coronis" did
not then have a special title in the volume ; for if it had, Sweden
borg’s heirs would have noticed it, as they did in the case of the
other sections contained in the Codex. In this case, however, it
follows further that the full title of the "Coronis" which is given to
this summary in the copy itself, and which Dr. Im. Tafel also gave
to the printed copy on p. 161 , was inserted by the amanuensis,
(probably by A. Nordensköld himself, as it is not in Johansen’s
handwriting) ; and was not furnished by Swedenborg. For further
particulars respecting the contents of this summary, see Docu
ment 313, no. 148.
7. "Concerning the God and Saviour, Jesus Christ." See pp. 13
to 15 in the printed copy.
8. "A specimen and outline of the doctrine of the New Church
in summary." See pp. 15 to 19, Ibid.
The substance of what Swedenborg wrote on the cover of the
Codex is printed by Dr. Im. Tafel among his notes on p. 22.
"Codex 49.- Biblical sentences collected under leading
heads."
This Codex is classed by Swedenborg’s heirs under "Theological
Writings, no. 12, Vol. III," and they furnish the following account
of it: "Vol. III contains on 180 pages sentences from the Sacred
