Description
The work is a complete edition of the Bible formatted as a translation and annotated text. It comprises the Old and New Testaments, translated from Latin Vulgate sources into Early Modern English. The Old Testament was first published in 1609 and 1610, while the New Testament appeared in 1582 in Rheims. The translation was produced by scholars at the English College in Douai as part of the Counter-Reformation efforts to reaffirm Catholic doctrine. The text includes extensive annotations, with significant revisions made by Bishop Richard Challoner in the mid-18th century to ensure accuracy and clarity. The work reflects a Catholic perspective on scripture and was widely used among English-speaking Catholics during a period marked by religious upheaval and reform.
The edition presents the biblical books in traditional sequence, beginning with Genesis and ending with Revelation, and incorporates historical and theological commentary to facilitate understanding. It remains an influential version within Catholic biblical tradition. The work is a key historical religious document from the early modern period, illustrating both doctrinal priorities and translation practices of its time.
