The subject of the article is the discovered prayer book of the bishop of Chełmno Wikbold Dobilstein (1363–1385). As the history of the manuscript is closely connected with the fate of its owner, the fi rst part of the article addresses the biography of the bishop, particularly the years spent „in exile”: Wikbold left the diocese in 1376 aft er a conflict with local knights and the Teutonic Order. He first settled down in the court of Karthaus (Kartuzy) in Koblenz, and later in the Cistercian Abbey in Altenberg. This was probably the time when the prayer book containing works belonging to the Rhine mystical school were created. It has an impressive cover made by an unknown bookbinder from Cologne from the circle of the Master of the Book of Vows in the second half of the 1370s- the 1380s. The bishop probably bequeathed the prayer book to his library in the castle in Lubawa – it later became the property of the Bernandine convent there. After the convent was cassated in 1821, the prayer book was passed over to the library of a secondary school in Chojnice, and in 1946 it was transported to the University Library in Toruń. It was not until recent years that the abbreviated name of its author was identified as Wikbold Dobilsten.

W ramach realizowanego w latach 2011/2012 projektu „Konserwacja zachowawcza średniowiecznych kodeksów dla celów digitalizacyjnych i wystawowych”, finansowanego przez Ministerstwo Nauki i Szkolnictwa Wyższego, przeprowadzono konserwację pergaminowego modlitewnika Wikbolda Dobilsteina z XIV w., pochodzącego ze zbiorów Biblioteki Uniwersyteckiej w Toruniu. Artykuł zawiera krótki rys historyczny zabytku, przybliża postać jego fundatora i właściciela, zapoznaje także z wynikami badań techniki wykonania rękopisu. Ukazano stan zachowania oraz przebieg realizacji prac konserwatorsko-restauratorskich, przybliżając jednocześnie metodę konserwacji pergaminowego kodeksu bez jego demontażu, co do niedawna stanowiło rzadkość w przypadku pergaminowych ksiąg, zwłaszcza o tak zniszczonej konstrukcji oraz unikatowej podwójnej oprawie skórzanej.

In the framework of the project „Conservation of medieval codices for digitization and exhibition purposes” executed in 2011/2012 and funded by The Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the conservation and restoration of medieval parchment book prayer of bishop Wikbold Dobilstein from the collection of the University Library in Toruń was carried out in the Preservation and Restoration Department of the Library. The article contains short description of the results of the scientific researches on the manuscript history, its contents, the life of its founder and owner and the construction of the book. The major part of the article refers to the condition of the book and the process of conservation and restoration treatment, that was successfully carried out without dismounting the manuscript. Such treatment has so far been rather unusual in case of the parchment books, especially so severely deformed and with a unique double-leather binding.
