The property of the Royal Secretary and Trustee of John III of Sweden, Henrik Matsson Huggut, was confiscated during the dynastic and religious controversies in 1601. In addition to the traditionally strong areas of the Swedish libraries, the Huggut collection comprised a great part of the fields of learning that were largely missing from other lists known from those times: medicine, natural science, astronomy, and mathematics.
