To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

Arcana Coelestia #2713

Studere hoc loco

2713. That 'a wilderness' means that which is obscure in comparison is clear from the meaning of 'a wilderness' as that which is obscure, when it has reference to the spiritual man in comparison with the celestial man, dealt with above in 2708.
