I'd argue that's more of a wisdom roll. INT would be a attempt to decipher it without magic, WIS would be knowing not fuck with creepy book or to at least cast detect magic first

It depends on game and edition. Newer d&d for instance, wisdom is all about senses and willpower. It would apply if the book has bad vibes or some sort of "do not read aloud"/"danger" markings or something. Int would be more appropriate for common sense and knowledge of how to handle possibly cursed items.

Wisdom being used for both senses and willpower is an odd combination when sensory processing disorders exist.

You can always just have a penalty to will saves.
