The Cathedral Library in Strängnäs and Its Polish Collection

Ewa Teodorowicz-Hellman

Abstract

Strängnäs Cathedral, located in an old town 80 km from Stockholm, houses a rich 17th century library. In the collection are mainly spoils of the Thirty Years’ War, including Polonica. Altogether, the library stocks 2000 volumes comprising 4000 titles, most of which are written in Latin and German. In addition to theological dissertations and Bible translations are books on such subjects as law, history, philosophy, medicine, mathematics and grammar. The Polish collection, which was brought over mainly from Olomouc, is relatively small, but early and not known well. On the author’s initiative, it is now being studied within the auspices of the project “Polonica in the Cathedral Library in Strängnäs”.
