ANALYSIS OF STOCKHOLM MSS.
"Codex 65.-Anatomica et Physiologica. "
This is a thick quarto volume, containing upwards of 1200 pages.
Some of these pages are injured by damp and mould, and are
difficult to read.
The contents which consisted originally of three Transactions
are as follows :
Transaction I.
1. The cortical substance.- This section originally extended from
pp. 1 to 72; of these only pp. 37 to 48 are preserved, together
with fragments of pp. 27 to 36, and 49 to 56, which consist of
portions of the leaves torn lengthways. We regard it as very
probable that the missing portions of this chapter have been utilized
by Swedenborg in the preparation of the chapter on the "Cortical
Substance of the Brain" in Vol. II of the Economia Regni Animalis.
2. The medullary or fibrillary substance. This chapter is complete.
It consists of 25 pages containing the experience of the anatomists,
and 23 pages of Swedenborg’s inductions.
3. The bloodvessels entering the cortical and medullary sub
stances.—This is a mere fragment ; it terminates abruptly on p. 132.
Between Transaction I and what is left of Transaction II, a
break of 75 pages occurs.
Transaction II
.
1. The motion of the brain.-This chapter lacks a beginning,
and opens with no. 43, whence it extends to no. 53; it fills pp. 205
to 233 of the Codex. In no. 45 Swedenborg quotes Malpighi287 on
the formation of the brain and heart in the chick; of this quotation
.
eight pages are wanting. This missing portion was printed by
Swedenborg in his Economia Regni Animalis, Vol. I, no. 242;
whence it follows that Codex 65 was utilized by Swedenborg in the
preparation of the above work, and that the missing portion of this
chapter was probably embodied by him in the chapter on the
"Motion of the Brain" in Volume II of the Economia.
2. The dura mater.-The quotations from the anatomists, which
extend from pp. 233 to 284, are all crossed ont. They were trans
ferred to the chapter on the dura mater in Codex 55. Sweden
borg’s induction fills pp. 284 to 316. Pages 309 and 310 are
missing.
3. The first sinus of the dura mater, pp. 316 to 344, where it
abruptly breaks off.
4. This chapter lacks a beginning. It commences with p. 369
and extends to p. 372.
