Hardcover. A Lexicon to the Latin Textof the Theological Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg (16881772) by Dr. John Chadwick and Dr. Jonathan S. Rose is a unique specialist dictionary of fourteen thousand Neo-Latin words and their usages as contained in eighteenth-century theological works of Emanuel Swedenborg. Beyond its use for scholars of Swedenborg, the Lexicon is also of great assistance to students and academics of history, philosophy, theology and science, and anyone who encounters texts written in Neo-Latin (the branch of Latin that was in use by learned writers and thinkers from the Renaissance period through to the Enlightenment and beyond). The Lexicon is beautifully and simply designed and easy to navigate. In addition to a preface by editor John Chadwick, this edition also features a new introduction by Jonathan S. Rose containing an important section on the morphology of Swedenborg's Neo-Latin (as distinct from the morphology of classical Latin); an appreciation of the life of John Chadwick by John Elliott; an appendix with a detailed listing of the various Latin editions of Swedenborg's theological works; and an appendix on Swedenborg's use of the Latin Bible of Sebastian Schmidt. This Neo-Latin lexicon was edited by John Chadwick, the classical scholar who is renowned throughout the world for his work in the decipherment of the ancient Minoan script Linear B. Although this lexicon covers the works of a single author it is thought to be the first dictionary, as distinct from a word-list, of Neo-Latin words and their usages. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
