CHRONOLOGICAL ACCOUNT.
letter D, was embodied by Dr. Im. Tafel in his edition of the
Index Biblicus.
For further particulars respecting this Index, which is contained
in Codices 40 and 41 of the Swedenborg MSS., see Document 310,
Codex 4.
1746 and 1747. (84.) Esajas et Jeremias explicati (Ex
planation of Isaiah and Jeremiah), in MS., pp. 107, folio.
This work is evidently a continuation of the Adversaria, no. 82,
although it differs from it in its internal arrangement in not being
divided into numbered paragraphs. Dr. Im. Tafel printed it, how
ever, as Adversaria, Part IV. The fact of its having been written
after "The Index to the Historical Books of the Old Testament,"
no. 83, is proved by several allusions to it in the body of the work.
On p. 48 (Dr. Im. Tafel’s edition) the author says in connection
with Ar of Moab (Ar Moabi) "see my excerpts;" on p. 48 he points
to his " collecta" about the east and Asshur ; on p. 49 to his "collecta"
on Ethiopia, Arabia, Cush; there are also other similar references
on pp. 55 and 156.
As to the time of its composition the greater part of the work
under consideration seems to have been written in 1746 ; for one of
the spiritual experiences related in the work (p. 102 ; Isaiah xli), is
dated November 7, 1746 ; and another on p. 185, November 21 , 1746,
which brings the work up to Jeremiah viii. On p. 205, only nine
teen pages farther on the author introduces the date of February 23,
1747 ; so that these nineteen pages cover the space of two months.
From this it evidently follows that after November 21 Swedenborg
engaged in the preparation of some additional works. One of these
works is the Annotata in Jeremiam et Threnos, discussed in no. 85 ;
and another work on which he engaged was a continuation of his
Index Biblicus, see no. 86.
For further particulars, see Document 310, Codex 62.
1746 and 1747. (85.) Annotata in Jeremiam et Threnos
(Notes on Jeremiah and the Book of Lamentations) , in MS.
These notes were written by the author in the margin of his Latin
Bible, where they begin with Jeremiah, chapter xviii, and are con
tinued through the rest of that prophet and through the Book of
Lamentations. The greater part of the author’s Bible containing
these particular notes is lost ; yet enough remains to show that the
whole of the prophet Jeremiah from chapter xviii was at one time
annotated. The parts that remain are as follows : chapters xviii-xxii,
xxxvi, chapter xl, 14, to chapter xliv, 17, chapter xlviii, 34, to the
end of the prophet ; also the whole of the Book of Lamentations.
