Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10.
