Summary/Abstract: 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.
