The chairman of the German Bible Society, Bishop em. Dr. Walter Klaiber, presented a slipcase to the Pope containing the editions of the original text of the bible, i.e. the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia and the Novum Testamentum Graece (edited by the Münster Institute), and the Septuagint. The 250 members of the synod got the slipcase too.
