ANALYSIS OF STOCKHOLM MSS.
"Codex 50.- Index to the Concordia Book."
Swedenborg’s heirs class this Codex as " Theological Writings,
no. 12, Vol. II," and they say respecting it, "Vol. II was found to
contain an Index to the Concordia pia, published in Leipzig in
1756, 8vo." Björnstjerna gives the following significant description
of this volume : "An Index to the Concordia Book, with several
interesting matters Swedenborg wrote just before his death."
This is one of the few MSS. respecting which it is stated in the
Official Catalogue (Document 308, A) that it had been "borrowed
by Nordensköld," and which has not found its way back to the Library
of the Academy of Sciences. Fortunately, however, a transcript of
its contents has been secured, which is now in the possession of .
the Swedenborg Society. Of the greater portion, indeed, two copies,
written by two different persons, have been preserved. The transcript
was published by Dr. Im. Tafel in the Diarium Spirituale, Part VII,
Appendix 1 , pp. 137-160. For further particulars respecting it, see
Codex 48, no. 6 in the present Document, and also Document 313,
no. 150.
Its contents are as follows:
1. "The Abomination of Desolation; the Consummation of the
Age, and the Fulness of Time;" pp. 137-142 in the printed copy.
Mere outlines of these subjects are given in three different forms.
2. "Invitation to the New Church," pp. 142 to 160.
The full title of this paper is as follows :
"An Invitation to the New Church addressed to the whole Christian
world, and an exhortation that they should worthily receive the Lord,
who foretold that He would come into the world on account of that
Church, and to that Church."
The plan of this "Invitation" is first stated in general terms on
p. 143.
The whole of this paper was arranged into 59 consecutive para
graphs, probably by the amanuensis ; but in reality it consists of at
least two distinct papers, which run parallel with one another, and
do not follow one another consecutively. The first of these papers
extends from no. 1 to no. 29; and the second from no. 30 to no. 59.
Respecting the place which this MS. occupies among Swedenborg’s
writings, see Document 313, no. 150.
"Codex 51.-De Cultu et Amore Dei, [Pars Tertia.]
This Codex contains the materials of the unfinished third part of
the work on "The Worship and Love of God." It exists from
nos. 111 to 125 in proof-sheet (16 pages), with the exception of
page 11 which is blank. Nos. 118 to 131 exist in manuscript, and
