I read the Peregrinatio before. Does the book tell us much about its language?


The title is a giveaway:

"De latinitate libelli qui inscriptvs est Peregrinatio ad loca sancta".

Yep, it's an early 20th century monograph about Latin, written in
Latin.  A coursemate of mine used to say that Sanskritists ought
to write their works in Sanskrit instead of in a variety of
modern languages.  He was very good at reading Sanskrit obviously.
Seems like Latinists not so long ago lived by a similar dictum!
