CHRONOLOGICAL ACCOUNT.
quinque sensuum agunt (The Anatomy of the human body,
Parts II and III, treating of the generative organs, and
the organs of the five senses), in MS., 269 pages, folio.
Previous to the elaboration of the present treatise (and thus
before 1742) Swedenborg styled his contributions to the Regnum
Animale "Transactions," as appears from the preface to his "Rational
Psychology," no. 67, where he refers to his "Introduction to Rational
Psychology," no. 57, as "Transaction V." When he came to treat
of the organs of the body in general, he changed this order, and
arranged his materials for the Regnum Animale into four large
volumes, a synopsis of which is given in no. 56, A.
By a reference to this synopsis it appears that a treatise
bearing the title, "The Anatomy of the body, of all its viscera, the
generative organs, and the organs ofthe five senses," was to constitute
Volume I of the original Regnum Animale. The above work con
stitutes Parts II and III of that volume, so far as they were
prepared by the author in 1742 and 1743.
Part I, which treated of the viscera of the abdomen and thorax, was
recast by the author in 1744, and printed at the Hague in that year.
The first page of the MS. codex of Parts II and III is marked with
1111, i . e. four l’s, which means that it begins with the seventy-ninth
sheet of the MS.; the MS. not being marked according to pages,
but according to sheets, some of which contain only two, but most
of them four pages. The letters of the alphabet are used to designate
the number of the sheets ; four l’s meaning that the letter 1 has been
used four times, i. e. that the alphabet consisting of twenty-three letters
had been used three times in full, and the fourth time as far as the
letter 1. This serves to give an idea of the extent of the MS. of
the 22 chapters which composed the original Part I.
The contents of the unpublished portion of "Volume I" of the
original Regnum Animale, are as follows :
PART I. Chapter 23 on the periosteum, and chapter 24 on the
female breast. These chapters belong properly to Part I.
These two chapters were printed in 1849 by Dr. Im. Tafel as
the Regnum Animale, Part VI, Section I. In 1852 they were
translated by Dr. J. J. Garth Wilkinson into English, and were
appended by him to his English translation of the work on the
"Generative Organs."
PART II, entitled THE GENERATIVE ORGANS (Organa Genera
tionis), pp. 185.
A. The male Generative Organs (Organa in mare).
1. The spermatic arteries.
