PROFESSOR SAMUEL ÄLF.
As appears from Document 220, Professor Älf was married to
Anna Dorothea Filenia, grand-daughter of Bishop Ericus Benzelius ,
and Swedenborg’s eldest sister, Anna (see Document 9, Vol. I, p. 89).
Professor Älf, who was one of the greatest Latin scholars of Sweden
of his time, was born in 1727. After finishing his studies at the
University of Upsal, he was appointed professor of eloquence and
poetry in the gymnasium at Linköping in 1759; and in 1773 he
became professor of theology. In 1781 he was created dean of
Linköping, and died there in 1796. Professor Älf seems to have
been somewhat interested in Swedenborg’s writings ; for Count
Höpken wrote to Secretary Wargentin of the Academy of Sciences
in 1772, "After the coronation there ought to be a hundred oppor
tunities to send it (Swedenborg’s True Christian Religion,’) to
Linköping to Professor Älf
." Alf’s stepbrother was Professor J. H.
Lidén, who is mentioned in Document 282, p. 701 , and in Note 258.

This "violent anti-Swedenborgian," as he was called by the
Rev. Arvid Ferelius (Document 267, p. 561), was born in Gotten
burg in 1719. According to Dr. Kahl217 in his "Nya Kyrkan," & c.
(Part III, p. 12), Erik Lamberg entered the gymnasium at Gotten
burg in 1734, at the same time with Dr. Beyer, against whom he
evinced such an unfriendly disposition, when the latter became
interested in the writings of Swedenborg. Both left the gymnasium
at the same time, namely, in the autumn of 1739, Lamberg going to
