Aprašymas

What happened to the thousands of books seized from Bohemian and Moravian libraries by Swedish armies during the Thirty Years' War? Drawing on years of provenance research and a database of more than 4,300 surviving books, Lenka Veselá reconstructs the confiscated royal, aristocratic, ecclesiastical, and private collections and traces their journeys across Europe. She examines how Swedish commanders selected and transported libraries, how the books were incorporated into Swedish collections, and how their meanings changed over time. Combining unpublished archival evidence with the books themselves, the volume offers a new perspective on war booty, cultural transfer, and early modern European book culture.
