Proceedings at the redepositing of Swedenborg-s skull, etc., in the coffin 

 in the Cathedral, Upsala, June 13th, 1908. 



Minutes kept at the coffin of Emanuel Swedenborg in Upsala 



Cathedral, June 13th, 1908. Present: Messrs. Professor E. Slave and 



the Cathedral Registrar N. J. Söderberg for the Cathedral Chapter in 



Upsala, and Professors E. Clason, J. A. Hammar, U. Ouensel and M. 



Ramström, and the Notary of the Cathedral Chapter A. Radhe, who 



acted as secretary. 



§ 1. On the 29th of last May, the coffin of Emanuel Swedenborg had, in 



the manner shown by the minutes kept on the occasion, been opened, and a 



cranium, a part of a lower jawbone, three fragments of bone, and a pillow, had 



been taken up therefrom for scientific investigation; And these objects were 



now to be laid back into the coffin. 



After the outer lid had been screwed off and the inner wooden coffin, 

 which was bound with bands tied on the lid and signed with the seals of the 

 Cathedral Chapter and the Cathedral, had been opened, as well as the leaden 

 coffin, Professor Hammar delivered an object covered with white wrapping paper 

 and sealed with strings and two seals, one marked M. R., the other J. A. H., 

 which was found, after the seals had been broken, to l)e a mahogany case, con- 

 taining a skull, a reconstructed lower jawbone and a pillow, enveloped in cotton 

 and white tissue paper. After Professors Clason, Hammar och Ramström had 

 stated that the reconstructed lower jawbone consisted of the portion of the lower 

 jawbone and the three fragments of bone which had been taken out of the coffin 

 at the meeting on the 29th of last May, together with the skull and pillow now 

 brought back, these skeletal parts were now deposited, with the pillow, at the 

 head-end of the leaden coffin, the skull being placed upon the pillow with the 

 face towards the foot-end, and the lower jaw beside the skull, the wadding in 

 the coffin was spread over it and the lid laid on. 



Thereupon the lid was screwed on the inner wooden coffin, and was tied 

 with the white bands belonging to it, and sealed on the upper as well as on the
