Bishop Piotr Dunin-Wolski was a bibliophile, lover and expert on Spanish literature, perfectly familiar with the cultural currents of the epoch and maintaining scientific and diplomatic contacts. He donated a large collection of books (over 1000 volumes) to the Collegium Maius library of the Krakow Academy and to the library of the cathedral chapter in Płock.
