Scanned Versions of Ornaments
The following section comprises scans of the ornaments undertaken "with care and work" by Amos Glenn, for whose skill, industry, and attention to detail I am grateful.5 I present the ornaments divided into their six categories as outlined above. I have sorted each category chronologically by the first occurrence of that ornament and given them all both a label by category and a number according to their chronological sequence of first occurrence. Beside the label and number of each ornament I have given the city of publication of the work or works that contain it. Below the ornament I give first the number of occurrences and then a complete "playlist" of where it occurs. The "playlist" references are given in abbreviated form. The first two letters are an abbreviated version of the work's most common title in English (see the table just below). These two letters are followed by a period and a number. The number is a page reference to the first edition. For example, after Tailpiece Ornament 22 comes the reference: DW.24. This means that the ornament is found just once and occurs in Swedenborg's first Latin edition of Divine Love and Wisdom on page twenty-four. When the first edition has mistaken pagination I indicate the second use of a page number with a [b]. In one instance I have put a lower case Roman numeral in brackets to denote an ornament that occurs before page one of its volume. The page references become somewhat more confusing in the case of Arcana Coelestia. Being the only multi-volume work among the theological first editions, its eight volumes are indicated after the two letters of abbreviation but before the period. AC8 means Arcana Coelestia volume eight. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the second volume of Arcana Coelestia is divided into six sections, each of which has its own title page and begins pagination afresh. There are, for example, six page tens in the second volume. For this reason after AC2 you will find a slash and a Roman numeral followed by a period and a page reference. When there are several references in one volume I have separated them by commas without repeating the volume abbreviation. References in different volumes are separated by semicolons followed by the abbreviation for the new volume. The reference "AC1.492,543; AC2/II.4,57,/V.5,/VI.8; AC3.350" means that the ornament appears in Arcana Coelestia volume one on pages 492 and 543; in Arcana Coelestia volume two, section two on pages 4 and 57, section five on page 5, and section six on page 8; and in Arcana Coelestia volume three on page 350.
The following two tables contain the same material sorted differently. The first is a table in alphabetical order of my abbreviations keyed to their Latin titles with dates and places of publication.

Although it is admittedly strange to have all ninety-two ornaments taken out of their physical context and laid out here by category, I do so both out of concern for their preservation and to afford the reader a chance to study them together in their own light.
