SWEDENBORG’S WRITINGS.
from this the contents of the missing page 11 can be supplied. The
work was evidently never finished by Swedenborg; for at the close
of the Codex is a plan of the whole work, in which those parts which
had been written out by him, have been checked off. Swedenborg’s
printed copy of Part II, which had been published by him in London,
1745, is likewise bound up in this Codex; but his printed copy of
Part I is no. 68 of the collection. Short abstracts of the contents
are written on the margin of that volume probably for the purpose
of compiling an Index.
All these three parts, i. e. Part I, with its marginal notes,
Part II, and Part III, which consists partly of proof-sheets, and
partly of manuscript, have been Photo-lithographed as Vol. VII of
the Photo-lithographed MSS. of Swedenborg. Parts I and II which
were printed in quarto in 1745, for the sake of uniformity, were
reproduced in folio. Of Part III, nos. 111 to 119 were copied from
the proof-sheets, and nos. 120 to 131 from the MS. The Photo
lithographed copy covers 114 pages in folio.
Concerning the contents of this work, see Document 313, nos. 78
and 79.
"Codex 52.- Letters to Beyer. "
Particulars concerning the history of this volume, which had been
borrowed from the Academy by Wadström, may be found in Docu
ment 309, L.
Most of these letters were printed in 1787 in a Journal, published
in Stockholm by the Philanthropic Exegetical Society, entitled, Sam
lingar för Philantroper. They are all contained in Section IX of
the present work. In a footnote to Document 221 , on p. 336, further
particulars may be found concerning these letters.
"Codex 53.-Anatomica et Physiologica."
This Codex is one of those which Swedenborg’s heirs described
under the head of "Philosophical Writings, no. 10," thus: "Several
larger and smaller fragments written in various styles of handwritings,
yet apparently by Swedenborg himself; they seem to belong to his
Economia Regni Animalis. and to his Regnum Animale." The
contents of the present Codex are, as follows:
1. Chapter XXIII on the periosteum, and chapter XXIV on the
female breast; the former filling six and the latter ten pages. For
further particulars, see Document 313, no. 69, Part I.
2. Chapter XXV on the ear and hearing, and chapter XXVI on
the eye and sight. The former fills twenty-eight, and the latter
forty pages ; of the former the end is missing, and of the latter both
