The Douay-Rheims Version of the Holy Bible•DRB

The Douay-Rheims Bible, completed in 1610, is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate. It was primarily translated by English Catholics at the seminaries of Douai and Rheims, in response to the Protestant Reformation. Esteemed for its formal, majestic style, this translation has significantly influenced English Catholic tradition and literature, and it remains a vital text in traditional Catholic circles.
