The article deals with the manuscript of the Vatican Library Reg. lat. 1690, which contains the chronicle and book of coat of arms of the Austrian Herberstein family and has not been associated with the Swedish war booty of books from the Czech lands until now. Nevertheless, its analysis has revealed that it was written in 1584 at the instigation of the Austrian knight Hieronymus Beck von Leopoldsdorf, whose library later became part of the book collection of the Moravian Cardinal Franz von Dietrichstein. Along with his book collection, also this manuscript became part of the Swedish book booty.

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.
