S.) 1747, to Oct 2,† 1748; & nos. 3423-3427 were written “in via”. i. e., on way from Holland to London. Swedenborn left Stockholm for Holland about July 1747, so that nos. 1-140 were also probably written in Holland. p. 781 In the Heirs Catalogue, this is described as being in 2 volumes; viz., p.780 vol.11 & IV: Vol. II - an Index “to a portion of the Old Testament” (Index Biblicus)… “On the last page of volume II, they [the Memorabilia] begin with no. 206 and then run backward to no. 970 - which is about the middle of the volume. The Continuation follows in the middle of “Vol IV commencing with no. 973, & proceeding to the end as far as no. 1789; p. 780 the volume is then commenced with no. 1790, and it runs on to no. 3427 in the p. 789 [see middle of the volume.” ACSD Vol. II was in parchment binding, and vol. IV was without binding. 1664.21] The whole of the MSS of the Sniritual Diary including the Indices, are described in a catalogue prepared by A. J. Pernety in 1782 as “A large collection of Memorabilia with their index: three large volumes, folio.” This catalogue was made before the MSS were officially catalogued, and before they were bound by A Nordenskiöld. The “three lame volumes, p. 793 folio” would not include Cod. 63 (Diary Minor). [see ACSD In Chastanier’s list, published in 1785, Codex 2 is included in the 1665.13] heading “9. A collection of memorabilia… which extends from the year 1746 p. 795 {see 13 to the year 1764” (Codices 2 & 3). ACSD In the catalogue prepared for the Swedish “Philanthropic & Exegetic 1667.15] Society” by Johan Björnstjerna in 1787, under the heading “In large oblong folio” we read: “2,3. Memorabilia, in three volumes, nos. 149 to 6093.” At this time, Codex 2 was divided into two volumes, the remaining volume being Codex 3. * See also “Some Little Known Facts concerning Swedenborg’s Memorabilia or ‘Spiritual Diary’ by the Rt. Rev. Alfred Acton (NCL 1953, March: pp. 112-130). † The date “October 24” in no.3422 is almost certainly a slip for “October 2.” 14 App. I page 2 SD - Cod. 2 (cont’d) Doc. 2²: In the official catalogue of the Academy of Sciences prepared by p. 798 [see J.C.Wilcke, Secretary, after 1787, Codex 2 is noted as “Memorabilia - ACSD Borrowed by Director Wadstrböm.” (As to how Nordenskjöld & Wadström - 1671.151] who were both members of the Academy - could obtain valuable MSS from the Academy, see Doc. 2 : pp.824, 827end.) Marked as “not returned” in 1841. p. 801 In a letter from the Academy of Sciences to the London Swedenborg Society, dated May 19, 1842, we read: “Nordenskjöld offered to bind all the p. 827 MSS at his own expense, which the Academy gratefully accepted; but we have no proof in hand that all the MSS he received to bind have been completely returned “ This was about 1780. Codex 2 was among those not returned; and although it is marked as borrowed by Wadström, it was probably borrowed either for Nordenskjöld or in conjunction with him As much of volume II (of the Heirs’ Catalogue) as contained the p. 836 Memorabilia, 149-972, and the whole of vol.

  • What Is the Nature of Good Government?
    What is the Nature of Good Government? from Heaven and Hell by Emanuel Swedenborg A Unique Vision of the Afterlife The following pages contain a brief taste of heaven based on the visions of Emanuel Swedenborg (1688–1772), a Swedish sci- entist and mystic. They are taken from his best-known work, Heaven and Hell, orig- inally written and published in 1758 in Latin as De Coelo et Ejus Mirabilibus, et de Inferno, ex Auditis et Visis (Heaven and Its Wonders and Hell, Drawn from Things Heard and Seen). Heaven and Hell is a detailed descrip- tion of the afterlife based on Swedenborg’s personal experiences. The work includes discussions of what happens to us after we die, what it’s like to live in heaven (or in hell), and the nature of God and angels. Now celebrating its 250th anniversary, Heaven and Hell has been in print con- tinuously since its first publication, and it has been translated into twenty-three lan- guages. This translation was produced by George F. Dole for the New Century Edition of the Works of Emanuel Swe- denborg, published by the Swedenborg Foundation. The full translation includes an introduction by noted scholar Bern- hard Lang, extensive notes on the text, and other helpful references. This deluxe edition is available in hardcover and full- sized paperback; there is also a smaller Swedenborg Foundation portable edition without the introduction West Chester, Pennsylvania and endnotes. • www.swedenborg.com Forms of Government in Heaven Since heaven is differentiated into communities, and the larger communities consist of some hundreds of thousands of angels, and since all the people in a given community are involved in similar good but not in similar wisdom, it follows of necessity that there are forms of govern- ment.

For simplicity the information has been presented in four different books. Book 1 – Mythical to Viking Era (? – 1250) Book 2 – Folkunga Dynasty (1250 – 1523) Book 3 – Vasa Dynasty (1523 – 1751) Book 4 – Recent Royalty (1751 – Present) Book 4 covers the most recent history including the wars with Russia that eventually led to the loss of Finland to Russia and the emergence of Finland as an independent nation as well as the history of Sweden during World Wars I and II. A list is included showing our relationship with the royal family according to the lineage from Nils Kettilsson Vasa. The relationship with the spouses is also shown although these are from different ancestral lineages. Text is included for those which are highlighted in the list.

Newtonianism in the Scandinavian Countries, 1690–1790. RePoSS: Research Publications on Sci- ence Studies 19. Aarhus: Centre for Science Studies, University of Aarhus. url: http://www.css.au.dk/reposs. Copyright c Helge Kragh, 2012 1 Newtonianism in the Scandinavian Countries, 1690-1790 HELGE KRAGH 1 Introduction In the present context, the Scandinavian countries refer to two national or administrative units, the one being Denmark and the other Sweden. In the period here considered, largely the century from 1690 to 1790, ‘Denmark’ means really Denmark-Norway, for until 1814 Norway was part of the double monarchy ruled by the king and his government in Copenhagen. It should also be kept in mind that parts of what is today Germany, namely Schleswig-Holstein, belonged to the kingdom. However, as far as language and culture were concerned, these parts of southern Denmark were more German than Danish, and they played no important role in the scientific life of the kingdom. Sweden covered a much larger geographical area than it does today. The country had expanded greatly during the seventeenth century, when not only Finland but also parts of the Baltic area and northern Germany came under Swedish rule. About 1720, after the Great Northern War, Sweden lost most of its possessions, but the major part of Finland remained as part of the country until Centre for Science Studies, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Aarhus University, Denmark.

  • On the Origins of the Gothic Novel: from Old Norse to Otranto
    This extract is taken from the author's original manuscript and has not been edited. The definitive, published, version of record is available here: https:// www.palgrave.com/gb/book/9781137465030 and https://link.springer.com/book/10.1057/9781137465047. Please be aware that if third party material (e.g. extracts, figures, tables from other sources) forms part of the material you wish to archive you will need additional clearance from the appropriate rights holders. On the origins of the Gothic novel: From Old Norse to Otranto Martin Arnold A primary vehicle for the literary Gothic in the late eighteenth to early nineteen centuries was past superstition. The extent to which Old Norse tradition provided the basis for a subspecies of literary horror has been passed over in an expanding critical literature which has not otherwise missed out on cosmopolitan perspectives. This observation by Robert W. Rix (2011, 1) accurately assesses what may be considered a significant oversight in studies of the Gothic novel. Whilst it is well known that the ethnic meaning of ‘Gothic’ originally referred to invasive, eastern Germanic, pagan tribes of the third to the sixth centuries AD (see, for example, Sowerby 2000, 15-26), there remains a disconnect between Gothicism as the legacy of Old Norse literature and the use of the term ‘Gothic’ to mean a category of fantastical literature. This essay, then, seeks to complement Rix’s study by, in certain areas, adding more detail about the gradual emergence of Old Norse literature as a significant presence on the European literary scene. The initial focus will be on those formations (often malformations) and interpretations of Old Norse literature as it came gradually to light from the sixteenth century onwards, and how the Nordic Revival impacted on what is widely considered to be the first Gothic novel, The Castle of Otranto (1764) by Horace Walpole (1717-97).

As the country increasingly took on the difficult tasks of constructing harbors, canals, and foundations for roads and railways, novel foundation concepts had to be developed. The establishing of an interdisciplinary “Geotechnical Commission” in 1914 consisting of geologists and civil engineers with the task to study landslides and slope failures laid the foundation for modern geotechnical field and laboratory testing methods and began the key role of geotechnical engineering in Swedish civil engineering. A very important aspect is the spirit of close cooperation between practitioners, engineers, and scientists, manifested in the Swedish Geotechnical Institute and the Swedish Pile Commission. The Swedish geotechnical practice has a long history of important accomplishments by individual engineers.

Metamodeling — 3D-( re )designing Polhem’s Laboratorium mechanicumn → 3D visualisations, digital methods, Christopher Polhem, media modalities Based on selected parts of the collections at the Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology, the aim of the research project, Digital Models, is to explore the potential of digital technologies to reframe Swedish industrialisation and its stories about society, people and environments. This book chapter presents the work done with one model, the Swedish 18th century inventor Christopher Polhem’s so called mechanical alphabet. His small wooden models were once built to pedogogically illustrate different mechanical principles. At a time when heritage institutions are exploring how new digital technologies can broaden access to their collections, the chapter recounts the ways in which our project has tried to metamodel Polhem’s alphabet in different digital formats, especially in 3D.

  • Polhems Huvudvärk David Dunér
    Polhems huvudvärk David Dunér CHRISTOPHER POLHEM HAR BLIVIT MEST KÄND som tekniker och industripionjär, omtalad som ett tekniskt geni, en uppfinnarjocke, den svenska mekanikens fader, Nordens Arkimedes, den hyperboreiske Daidalos. Utmaningen är här att försöka visa att hans verkliga originalitet inte ligger främst i hans tekniska uppfinnarförmåga. En stor del av sin tid använde han nämligen till studier och spekulationer kring geologi, materiateori, nationalekonomi, näringslära, språkvetenskap, filosofi och pedagogik. Hans uppfinningar visar sig i många fall inte vara hans egna. Det är i ännu högre grad som tänkare man finner särlingen. Man skulle kunna kalla honom för en hemmatänka- re som kokade ihop sina egna tankar oberoende av vad andra tyckte och tänkte. Det finns en smittande fräckhet och humor som går utanför alla konventioner. Att tänka, sade han, kunde dock vara lika ansträngande som kroppsrörelser: »när man för myket tenker, blir hiernan öhm och wärkande, så och när man myket tenker på sådhana ting som man aldrig hafft före tillförende, blir hela kroppen matt och machtlöss». Om denna essä inte kan ge övertygande argument för Polhems originalitet, så kan den i vart fall göra läsaren en aning matt och maktlös av alla nya tankar om Polhem som denne inte tidigare har haft. Ett skäl till Polhems okonventionella tänkande kan vara hans oroliga bildnings- gång. Han var i stort sett autodidakt, saknade en grundlig bildning och kunde aldrig lära sig latin ordentligt. Kanske hade han till och med en släng av ordblindhet. Men på sätt och vis kan man se hans liv som lite av en klassisk framgångshistoria. För- utsättningarna var nämligen inte de bästa för en framgångsrik teknisk karriär.

  • Travel the Red Sea Southern Egypt to Sudan
    travel The Red Sea Southern Egypt to Sudan The Red Sea MAGNUS LUNDGREN 24 X-RAY MAG : 17 : 2007 PETER SYMES EDITORIAL FEATURES TRAVEL NEWS EQUIPMENT BOOKS SCIENCE & ECOLOGY EDUCATION PROFILES PORTFOLIO CLASSIFIED travel The Red Sea Text by Peter Symes Photos by Peter Symes and Magnus Lundren There is something special about it, the Red Sea, that I have not found anywhere else on the planet. Granted every destination has its own, but here there is this special ambi- ence of timeless mystique, of remoteness and rugged adventure that just hangs thick in the atmosphere with a whiff of historical greatness and millenias past, topped up with a scent of spices and a distant smell of charcoal from a campfire, or perhaps a sisha—a waterpipe. Once you get past the sprawling resorts that now send their sprout- ing tubers and seeds out along the barren coastline—yes, they do market this place aggressively as the “Red Sea Riviera”—you suddenly find yourself in a land where time just seems to cease to exist. The sun wan- ders across the sky, so does the moon, but what day is it? Out in the desert, who cares? Who is there to care anyway, save for a few scattered Bedouins?
