This study presents the until now unknown Lower Austrian book collection from the end of the 16th century, which is, indeed, unique in many aspects. It was carried off to Sweden as part of literary war booty from Bohemia and Moravia towards the end of the Thirty Years’ War. The aim of this study is to fill in one of the gaps in our knowledge of Central European aristocratic libraries in the Early Modern Age. After all, Beck’s Library was one of the little known aristocratic libraries of a progressive, intellectual archetype. The Library, in its irreplaceably poignant personal character, reflected some elements of Hironymus Beck’s life and his world outlook, difficult to ascertain otherwise and uncaptured from other primary sources. Therefore, the author strives to decipher until now unknown intellectual horizons of its creator and to classify the Beck book collection within the context of other contemporary aristocratic libraries in the Austrian Lands.

W zbiorach Biblioteki Uniwersyteckiej w Uppsali znajduje się wiele książek, które do roku 1655 należały do Kolegium Jezuickiego w Poznaniu, a które wojska szwedzkie zagrabiły i wysłały jako łup wojenny do Szwecji. W artykule prezentuję historię tej poznańskiej kolekcji, opracowaną na podstawie śladów materialnych: historię samej biblioteki, jej zagrabienie w 1655 r., przetransportowanie do punktu docelowego w Szwecji. Fizyczne ślady tych wszystkich wydarzeń są ciągle widoczne na samych książkach i są one oczywiście w dalszym ciągu najważniejszą podstawą dla zrozumienia istnienia kolekcji we współczesnym kontekście. Dodatkowym wsparciem są tutaj katalogi i rejestry z epoki, które pomagają nam w zrekonstruowaniu tej ważnej historycznej kolekcji.

In the collections of the Uppsala University Library there are many books that were owned by libraries in Poznań until 1655, when Swedish forces took them as war booty and sent them to Sweden. In this article the aim is to recapitulate the history of this Poznań-collection, i.e. the library itself, the capture in 1655, its transport to and later destiny in Sweden, partly by means of material evidence. Traces from all these events are still visible in the books themselves and they are of course essential for understanding the collection in its present context. In addition, there are catalogues and registers from the time that help us in the reconstruction of this important historical library.
