Yes, that would be Louvain (=Leuven in Flemish).
His family (Moret in French) was closely related
to the Plantijn (Plantin in French) family,
who were well known in Antwerp in the book
production industry (and probably many more).
Visitors to Antwerp should definitely visit
the Plantin museum.

He is one of the few people of whom we know that
he knew Baresch, which is one of the 
interesting things about him. Unfortunately, his
time in Bohemia postdates Jacobus....
