SWEDENBORG’S WRITINGS.
"Codex 95."
Concerning this codex we read in the Official Catalogue (
Docu
ment 307) simply that it was "taken by Nordensköld," but Björnstierna
in Document 308 describes it as "A Collection of Memorabilia," Svo.
Such a "Collection of Memorabilia," 8vo, was taken by Wadström
to England in 1788, and, after it had remained for some time in the
possession of Mr. D. R. M’Nab, was returned to the Academy of
Sciences in 1842. This little Codex is described in Document 304,
thus: "A little volume in 8vo, bound in calf, filled with memora
bilia, of which each is under its own head; it contains 134 pages."
That the little volume which was returned to the Academy of
Sciences in 1842 was Codex 95, is fully proved by a reference to
Björnstierna’s Catalogue. As the whereabouts of this catalogue,
however, were not known in 1842, and as the identity of the returned
MS. with Codex 95 could not then be proved, it was entered in
the "Official Catalogue" as Codex 111 ; so that Codices 95 and 111
are identical.
Before this little volume was returned to Sweden, by the permission
of the Academy of Sciences, it was printed by Dr. Im. Tafel in 1843
under the title Eman. Swedenborgii Diarii Spiritualis Pars IV,
sive Diarium Minus. For further particulars, see Document 313,
no. 97.
"Codex 99.-Beskrifning öfwer Swenska Masungnar"
(Description of Swedish iron Furnaces)."
Concerning this MS., the original of which is preserved in the
College of Mines, see Document 145, Vol. I, pp. 404, 405 ; and also
Document 313, no. 20.
"Codex 103. - Index Rerum in Apocalypsi Revelata."
For further particulars respecting this Index, see Codex 7, no. 1 ; and
also Document 313, no. 130.
"Codices 107 to 109.-Apocalypsis Explicata."
These Codices contain the MS. copy of that work as far as Sweden.
borg had written it out for the press ; it fills 1992 pages, 4to.

In 1783 this work was conveyed to England by C. F. Norden
sköld, and was printed from 1785 to 1789 by Mr. R. Hindmarsh,
in a large 4to edition. The expenses of this edition were defrayed
mostly by Mr. Peckitt,2 who also became the owner of the MS.
copy, and by whose son it was presented to the Swedenborg Society.
In 1843 this copy was restored by that Society to the Academy of
Sciences, as its rightful owner; in 1859 it was again borrowed from
the Academy by Dr. Im. Tafel, who commenced its republication
