This is a TAN edition of the Douay-Rheims bible. The Douay-Rheims translation of the Holy Bible is the traditional English translation of the Bible for Catholics. This version is high-quality leather-bound. It has beautiful binding, gold foiling, and stunning details. Faithfully rendering the Latin Vulgate, the version of Scripture used traditionally in the Liturgy and approved by the Council of Trent, the Douay-Rheims translation has historically been the most important English translation of the Bible. The Douay-Rheims translation was the stand-alone Catholic English translation of the Bible for over 300 years. Translated with profound respect for every word, the wonderful style of the Douay-Rheims Bible and the expansive annotations will make this Bible perfect for everyone. “The Holy Bible is like a mirror before our mind’s eye. In it we see our inner face. From the Scriptures we can learn our spiritual deformities and beauties. And there too we discover the progress we are making and how far we are from perfection.” —Saint Gregory the Great
