This version was compiled from electronic files of the

Standard Edition of the Works of Emanuel Swedenborg as

further edited by William Ross Woofenden. Pagination of

this PDF document does not match that of the

corresponding printed volumes, and any page references

within this text may not be accurate. However, most if not

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.

This version has not been proofed against the original, and

occasional errors in conversion may remain. To purchase the

Critical Notes

ARCANA COELESTIA

Editor’s Preface

This edition of Arcana Coelestia is based on the translation of J.

Clowes and his revisers, as further revised by J. F. Potts. 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 Clowes/Potts translation has not been

materially altered.

Volume 11 of Arcana Coelestia continues Swedenborg’s verse-by-

verse exposition, or commentary, of the biblical text of the book of

Exodus. As was the custom in his day, Swedenborg referred to the

Psalms as the book of David, and to the Pentateuch (Genesis,

Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy) as the books of

Moses. In this volume Swedenborg also continues his practice of

inserting topical articles or “continuation” passages between each

chapter of the textual exegesis. The page number of the start of

each of these continuations is listed in the table of contents.

The reader may also wish to read the “Prefatory Notes by the

Reviser” in the front of the first volume of this work, as it contains

further details about the publishing history of this first and largest

of Swedenborg’s theological works. It also discloses a critical

decision made by Potts regarding his translating of the several

words used by Swedenborg to refer to “knowledge.” The reader

needs to know that this translation pattern was not followed by

other translators of Swedenborg.
