Doc. 313.] CHRONOLOGICAL ACCOUNT
ACCOUNT. 1023
.
1771. (150.) De Consummatione Sæculi, de Adventu secundo
Domini, et de Nova Ecclesia ; quibus adjecta est Invitatio
ad totum Christianum orbem ad illam Ecclesiam (The
Consummation of the Age, the Lord’s Second Coming,
and the New Church: to which is added an Invitation to
that Church made to the whole Christian world) , in MS.,
pp. 15, folio.
There is little doubt that this is the last work which was projected
by Swedenborg, and that it was intended by him to follow what is
known as the "Coronis to the True Christian Religion" (no. 149).
Death seems to have overtaken him, after he had just finished the
plan of the projected work. This plan constitutes Document 303,
p. 773, to which we refer the reader for further particulars.
Materials for this work were collected by the Author in Codices 50
and 48 ; in Codex 50 for the first and fourth Sections, i. e. the
"Consummation of the Age," and the "Invitation to the New Church ;"
and in Codex 48, i. e. in the "Summary of the Coronis" (no. 148)
for the two other Sections, chiefly in §§ 31-39, and 52-55. The
original manuscript of these materials has been lost, as Codex 50
of the Swedenborg MSS. is missing, and the portion of Codex 48
containing the "Summary of the Coronis" has been torn out of the
volume. Fortunately, however, copies of both have been preserved.
That of the "Summary of the Coronis" has been described in no. 148
of the present Document, and also in Document 310, Codex 48, no. 6.
Two copies exist of the "Invitation to the New Church," of which
one was written by Johansen, and the other probably by A. Norden
sköld. Both these copies are now in the possession of the Sweden
borg Society. Nordensköld’s copy contains also the materials for
the Section on the "Consummation of the Age." The whole of what
Nordensköld copied from Codex 50 was published by Dr. Im. Tafel
in the Diarium Spirituale, Part VII, Appendix 1 , pp. 137-160.
For further particulars, see Document 310, Codex 50 ; and also
Codex 48, no. 6.
