Gutenberg Bible - Pelplin copy  6 czerwca 1999 roku, po raz pierwszy w czasie swojego pontyfikatu, Papież Jan Paweł II odwiedził stolicę diecezji pelplińskiej. Wtedy na modlitwie na Biskupiej Górze w Pelplinie uczestniczyło 300 tys. wiernych.6 czerwca 1999 roku Ojciec Święty Jan Paweł II celebrował Mszę św. na Górze Biskupiej w Pelplinie. Poza tym zatrzymał się na posiłku w rezydencji biskupa pelplińskiego Jana Bernarda Szlagi oraz modlił się w bazylice katedralnej.   Było to największe wydarzenie w historii miasta.  Św. Jan Paweł II odwiedził diecezję chełmińską w czerwcu 1987 r. w Gdyni. Wizyta w Pelplinie była potwierdzeniem chełmińskiej spuścizny Pelplina oraz wyrazem uznania dla jej współczesnych dziejów w strukturach diecezji pelplińskiej. Dlatego wolą Ojca Świętego było celebrowanie Mszy św. w Pelplinie a nie tylko krótka wizyta. : Bernardinum, Facsimile Finder Original Photo, Multieditore, Orbis Pictus, Publisher Photo Dedication-to-King-George-VI  the letter F – illuminated with 24 carat pure gold leaf and blue ink as well as being decorated by a splendid marginal ornamentation.
