1258 NOTES TO VOLUME II
.
Heister’s, which met with immense and well-merited success, and
maintained its ground for a long time in the medical schools of
Europe. Heister wrote several special treatises on the application
of anatomy to theology (De Utilitate Anatomes in theologia genera
tim, eight parts, Altorf and Helmstädt, 1717-1730).

MORGAGNI.
Morgagni was one of the chief authorities consulted by Sweden
borg in his anatomical treatises. Extracts from his works are con
tained in Codex 57 (Document 310, p. 859). Joannes Baptiste Morgagni
was born at Forli in Romagna in 1682, and died in 1771. According
to Haller, he did not describe the parts of the human body as if
their form was one and constant; but noting the varieties in different
subjects, gathered from a number of accordant instances what might
be considered as the usual fabric ; and in thus eliciting generalized
facts excelled all previous anatomists, perhaps with the exception of
Eustachius. His Adversaria Anatomica prima was published in
Bologna in 1706. It is a small work, but as Haller says, almost
entirely consisting of new discoveries, or of clearer descriptions of
parts than had been given previously. According to Dr. Wilkin
son, Morgagni’s account of the appendices ventriculorum in the
larynx has been overlooked by later anatomists, and the same cavities
have recently been brought forward as a new discovery under the
name of sacculi laryngis. Five other collections of Adversaria were
afterwards published by Morgagni in 1717 and 1719; and they were
published altogether in Padua in 1719, and two editions of them
were published in Leyden in 1723 and 1740.

BOERHAAVE.
The works of Boerhaave, who was the most celebrated physician of
his age, were constantly used by Swedenborg in his physiological in
vestigations. It is also stated that he attended his lectures at Leyden;
but this is impossible, as Boerhaave died in 1737, and when Sweden
borg travelled in Holland in 1736 he did not pass through Leyden,
and in Amsterdam he stayed only two days, while altogether he
spent only a fortnight in the whole of the Netherlands (see Docu
