this PDF document does not match that of the

all of the numerical references herein are not to page

numbers but to Swedenborg’s section numbers, which are

not affected by changes in pagination. If this work appears

both separately and as part of a larger volume file, its

pagination follows that of the larger volume in both cases.

POSTHUMOUS THEOLOGICAL WORKS

501

Editor’s Preface

This second volume of Swedenborg’s Posthumous Theological Works,

along with volume 1, was first published in 1914. At that time John

Whitehead, the editor and translator of the two-volume set, called

attention in his preface to several situations that have since changed;

for instance that the full text of the marginal notes to Swedenborg’s

Schmidt’s Latin Bible (1696) was not available for use in his edition.

This latter omission was taken care of in another way in 1917 when

The Schmidius Marginalia together with the Expository Material of the

Index Biblicus of Swedenborg, translated and edited by E. E.

Iungerich, was published by the Academy of the New Church.

In this present edition of volume 2, the several minor works that

Whitehead had appended to Last Judgment (Posthumous) in volume 1,

as well as the extracts from Swedenborg’s correspondence and the brief

treatise on Gad and Asher, have been moved into this volume. This

was done in order to make the two volumes more nearly the same size,

as two of the extensive editorial word indexes, the brief bibliography of

Swedenborg’s works, and the index of Swedenborg’s works published

by the American Swedenborg Printing and Publishing Society

formerly found in volume 2 have been omitted, being neither accurate

nor any longer relevant to today’s reader.

The text for this edition was electronically scanned from the

Foundation’s Standard Edition. This process has allowed the book to

be completely redesigned and set in a new and more readable typeface.

Certain stylistic changes have also been introduced. These include

modernized spelling and punctuation as well as substituting new

words for terms whose meanings have become obscure or have

changed since the nineteenth century. Arabic numerals have replaced

roman numerals in Bible passages, and certain capitalized words

including pronouns referring to God have been lowercased to reflect

contemporary usage. All these changes have been carefully made in

order to make the book easier to read and use while preserving the

dignity and power of the original Latin. On the whole, however, the

Whitehead translation has not been materially altered.
