Abstracts

The study presents the current state of the mapping of preserved manuscripts taken away from Bohemian and Moravian libraries by Swedish troops at the end of the Thirty Years’ War. From the original number of about 1,000 manuscripts, 187 manuscripts have been preserved to this day. Most of them came from Dietrichstein (72 manuscripts), Rosenberg (50 manuscripts) and Prague Castle libraries (40 manuscripts). The article deals with the fates of the manuscripts after their transfer to Sweden and with the issues of their identification, and it provides their characteristics within the original libraries. It also outlines some new research areas, such as the position of manuscripts in the libraries of the 16th and 17th centuries and the research into the Hebrew manuscript fragments used for bookbinding, for which the ‘Swedish’ manuscripts will be an important source of information.
