ARCANA COELESTIA 1Editor’s PrefaceThis edition of Arcana Coelestia is based on the translation of J.Clowes and his revisers, as further revised by J. F. Potts. The textfor this edition was electronically scanned from the Foundation’sStandard Edition. This process has allowed the book to becompletely redesigned and set in a new and more readable typeface.Certain stylistic changes have also been introduced. These includemodernized spelling and punctuation as well as substituting newwords for terms whose meanings have become obscure or havechanged since the nineteenth century. Arabic numerals havereplaced roman numerals in Bible passages, and certain capitalizedwords including pronouns referring to God have been lowercasedto reflect contemporary usage. All these changes have been carefullymade in order to make the book easier to read and use whilepreserving the dignity and power of the original Latin. On thewhole, however, the Clowes/Potts translation has not beenmaterially altered.Volume 1 of Arcana Coelestia begins Swedenborg’s verse-by-verseexposition of the biblical text of the book of Genesis. As was thecustom in his day, Swedenborg referred to the Psalms as the bookof David, and to the Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus,Numbers, and Deuteronomy) as the books of Moses. In thisvolume Swedenborg also begins his practice of inserting topicalarticles or “continuation” passages between each chapter of thetextual exegesis. The page number of the start of each of thesecontinuations is listed in the table of contents.The reader may also wish to read the “Prefatory Notes by theReviser” in the front of this volume, as it contains further detailsabout the publishing history of this first and largest ofSwedenborg’s theological works. It also discloses a critical decision
