SWEDENBORG’S WRITINGS.
The present work was embodied by Dr. Im. Tafel in his Index
Biblicus, as far as published by himself, that is as far as letter D.
That part of it which gives the spiritual meaning of the proper
nouns, i. e. which harmonizes with nos. 86 and 91, the editor of
these Documents copied during his stay in Stockholm in 1870, and
published under the auspices of the Swedenborg Society in 1873,
with the title, Supplementum voluminis quarti Indicis Biblici
Emanuelis Swedenborgii. In this supplement was also printed the
interesting preface of the author.
Several references to the marginal notes in the Bible occur in
this work, on pp. 11 , 19, 25, 34, of the printed copy. On
p. 25 the author says in connection with Nasiræus: "see note to
Ezek. xliv, 20" (vide notam ad Ezech. xliv, 20).
For further particulars, see Document 310, Codex 4.
1747 and 1748. (91.) Index Biblicus Librorum Prophe
ticorum Veteris Testamenti, Psalmorum, Hiobi, Apoca
lypseos, et quoque Exodi, Levitici, Numerorum et Deu
teronomii (Biblical Index to the Prophetical Books ofthe Old
Testament, the Psalms, Job, the Apocalypse, and likewise
to Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy), in MS.,
pp. 636, large Folio.
Before Swedenborg entered upon the composition of the present
comprehensive Index, he had made a preliminary Index to the
Prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah, into which he had collected the
correspondences contained in his "Explanation of Isaiah and Jere
miah," no. 84, and also in the notes on Jeremiah which were written
on the margin of his Bible, see no. 85. This has been abundantly
shown in nos. 84, 85, and 86.
Neither this preliminary Index, nor the "Explanation of Isaiah
and Jeremiah," on which it was based, seemed to him comprehensive
enough, wherefore, as we have seen in no. 89, he started to go
through the prophecy of Isaiah a second time. In this second study
of Isaiah he, however, did not proceed farther than chapter vii, nor
did he embody the correspondences (which he entered on the margin
of his Bible as the result of this study) in the present Index, but
simply transferred into it the whole of the preliminary Index, no. 86,
as far as the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah are concerned, and then
proceeded to the annotation of the Prophet Ezekiel; and as fast
as he copied the contents of the old Index into the new, he crossed
out the items in the former volume, as may be seen by a comparison
of the two Indexes. See also Document 309, Codex 6, no. 1.
