The Latin edition of Peregrinatio in terram sanctam (Speyer, 1490) in the Maurits Sabbe Library of KU Leuven (a Catholic research university in the city of Leuven, Belgium) has suffered severely from the ravages of time and less successful restoration attempts in the nineteenth century. A new intervention to conserve the valuable incunable is planned in 2022 with the support of the Adopt-a-book project of KU Leuven Libraries.
