About
"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Old Testament — Part 1" is an English translation published in 1609. Created by scholars at the English College, Douai, this work translates the Latin Vulgate into Early Modern English as part of the Counter-Reformation. The first volume covers Genesis through Job, featuring extensive marginal notes on translation and source texts. Its challenging Latin vocabulary prompted later revisions, yet it remains significant as the first complete Catholic-authorized English Bible, influencing even Protestant translations like the King James Version.
