St. Jerome at work on
the Vulgate
In AD 382 Pope St.
Damasus commissioned St.
Jerome (Hieronymous), the
leading biblical scholar of
his day, to produce a
translation of the Bible to
replace theOld Latin Bible,
which had become
corrupted through copyists'errors.
St. Jerome applying himself to
the task by papal warrant had
access to the best extant
manuscripts -- which were much
closer to the original manuscripts in
Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic than anything still existing today. In
many cases the New Testament scriptural texts were within a few
generations of the original manuscripts penned by the Apostles.
The Latin Vulgate
Finally completing his work in AD 405, St. Jerome gave the
Catholic Church the Latin Vulgate. The Vulgate was solemnly
proclaimed the Church's official Bible by theCouncil of
Trent; which also declared that St. Jerome's Vulgate was theonly authentic Latin text of the Scriptures.
The word Vulgate itself means the "vulgar" --- that is the
common Latin language in usage throughout the lands of the
Roman Empire by the common people.
The Vulgate was everywhere accepted, even by the Greeks, the
majority of whom became the Greek Orthodox. The Greek
bishops, because their texts had become so corrupted as to not be
reliable, translated the Vulgate back into the "original Greek" for
their use.
A man who is well grounded
in the testimonies of the Scripture
is the bulwark of the Church.
St. Jerome

Cover of the LatinVulgate Bible
The Vulgate was in use
everywhere for 1,100 years as the
standard Bible of all
Christians; until various other
Bibles began to appear during theProtestant Reformation.
These either claimed to be
translations of the Vulgate, or to
be "diligently compared with the
original Hebrew and original
Greek manuscripts."
In point of fact, well before the
Protestant Reformation, there
were no "original Hebrew andoriginal Greek manuscripts" in
existence, except in their claims --
- neither have any original
manuscripts been discovered to
this day.
From 1534 when Luther completed his corrupted Bible, which
was followed by that of Wycliffe, Coverdale, etc., these partisan
translations multiplied.
English Church Scholars under the direction of William (later
Cardinal) Allen, in answer to these inaccurate translations of the
Bible so as to protect the Faith of the people, undertook to prepare
an accurate English version of the Vulgate. And so the English
College at Rheims undertook to translate the Vulgate in the
common man's English
" for the more speedy abolishing of a number of false and impious
translations put forth by sundry sectes, and for the better preservation
or reclaime of many good soules endangered thereby... no other
bookes in the world being so perni cious as heretical translations ofthe Scriptures, poisoning the people under colour of divine
authoritie..."
The Rheims New Testament
The result was the Rheims New Testament (1582) and, after the
move to Douai, the Douay Old Testament (1609). This Douay-
Rheims Bible became the gold standard --- the authentic
translation --- of the Bible for Catholics and all who valued
scriptural integrity.

The title page of the
REAL Rheims New
Testament
" Now since Luther ' s revolt also,"
says the preface to the New
Testament, " diverse learned
Cathol ics, for the more speedy
aboli shing of a number of f alseand impious translations put for th
by sundry sects, and for the better
preservation or reclaim of many
good souls endangered thereby,
have published the Bible in the
several languages of almost al l
the principal provinces of the
Latin Church, no other books in
the world
being so perni cious as heretical translations of the Scriptures,
poisoning the people under color of divine authority, and not many
other remedies being more sovereign against the same (if it be used in
order, discretion, and humi li ty) than the true, fai thful , and sincere
interpretation opposed thereunto ... We, therefore, having compassion
to see our beloved countr ymen, wi th extr eme danger of their souls, to
use only such profane translations and erroneous men's mere
fantasies, for the pure and blessed word of truth , much also moved
thereunto by the desires of many devout persons, have set forth for
you, benign readers, the New Testament to begin withal , trusting that
i t may give occasion to you, after di l igent perusal thereof, to lay away
at least such their impure versions as hi therto you have been forced
to occupy."
The preface to the entire Douay-Rheims Bible speaks to the
same effect:
" Now since Luther and his fol lowers have pretended that the
Catholi c Roman faith and doctri ne should be contr ary to God's
wr it ten word, and that the Scriptures were not suffered in vulgar
languages, lest the people should see the tru th, and wi thal these new
masters corr uptl y turning the Scri ptures into diverse tongues, as
might best serve their own opinions, against this false suggestion and
practice, Catholi c pastors have, for one especial remedy, set forth true
and sincere translations in most languages of the Latin Chur ch."
Not a Typical Translation or "Version"
It must be noted that the Douay-Rheims is NOT a typical
translation where the translator rearranges the words and
meanings, but a "slavish", i.e., an exact translation without
liberties from the Latin into English. The reader thereby has an
7/28/2019 What is the REAL Douay-Rheims Bible?
4/18
exact understanding of what the original Latin says, rather than
interpretations and interpolations.
History of the Douay Rheims Bible
The year 1558 A.D. marked the beginning of increasing
hardships and persecution in England for followers of the Vulgate.
Some were forced to flee to the European mainland for safety.
Some went to Douay, France, where a college had been founded for
the training of missionaries to return to England; of which many
were martyred. It was there, ten years later, that Gregory Martin
began to translate the Latin Vulgate into English.
As noted, the Rheims New Testament was published in 1582
A.D. in a single volume. For want of finances, the Old Testament
was not published until the first volume appeared in 1609 A. D.,and the second volume completing the Old Testament in 1610 A.D.
The Douay- Rheims Bible was created for distribution in
England. However the stringent Protestant Penal Laws in England
forbade the entrance and ownership of this, God's Holy Word,
which was considered inimical to the English government and
highly treasonable. An interesting contretemps from those who
claimed to be setting God's Word free.
The King James VersionOne year later, in 1611 A.D., the Protestant King James Version,
also known as the Authorized Version, was issued; but the Catholic
Douay-Rheims was not allowed legal entry until the 18th century.
The King James Version was virtually a translation from Luther's
German to English, and NOT "diligently compared with original
Hebrew and Greek" as it claimed --- there being no original
Hebrew or Greek manuscripts in existence.
Since the King James Version of 1611 A.D., it was as though
Luther's "Bible" was the Bible of 1,100 years, and not the LatinVulgate. The King James Version was permitted to stand without
the competition and comparison with the Vulgate or the Douay-
Rheims translation.
Discerning the Word of God
If one's salvation depends upon the proper acceptance and
application of Christ's teachings in one's life; then it is evident that
the right understanding of the Word of God must be attained.
But what if the Bible were to be cut and pasted, edited, re-
7/28/2019 What is the REAL Douay-Rheims Bible?
5/18
interpreted, and otherwise changed --- all the while keeping the
same name, but not the same substance. What effect would this
have upon a godly man attempting to live a Christ-like life?
Today some may try to claim that many Catholic versions of the
Bible are needed in order to find the real and true meaning ofGod's Word.
Thus we have The Challoner version, the Confraternity version,
the Revised Standard Edition (Catholic), the New American Bible,
the Jerusalem Bible, the New Jerusalem Bible, the New Revised
Standard (Catholic), Today's English Version (Catholic), the
Navarre Bible, etc.
Then there are the myriad of Protestant Bible versions.
Each of these supposedly Catholic bible versions claims to take
the Catholic closer to the true meaning and essence of the Word of
God.
However, suppose that you have not considered, or have been
denied, the best text of Scripture, and even the best helps that you
need to understand God's Word arightly.
What if the text of Holy Scripture had been changed to purge
Jesus from Scripture, not just in the current anti-Christian era, but
from the 1500's continuing until today under various forms of"textual criticism", updating, and other terms hiding what has
been done?
The Challoner "Revision"
Similar forces attempting to bowdlerize and to water down
Sacred Scripture were also at work within the Catholic Church
after the penal laws were lifted in England. The authentic real
"Douay-Rheims Bible" was never accepted in England, as all
Catholic Bibles had been confiscated and burned.
In the 18th century, Bibles appeared in England Bibles - the
work of a Bishop Challoner - which were erroneously titled The
Douay- Rheims Bible. These counterfeit versions were allowed
circulation in England and its colonies. The real Douay- Rheims ---
the original and true version --- vanished --- to be found only in
museums and literary collections.
The Catholic Encyclopedia of 1909 A.D. states:
"Although the Bibles in use at the present day by the Catholicsof England and Ireland are popularly styled the Douay Version,
7/28/2019 What is the REAL Douay-Rheims Bible?
6/18
they are most improperly so called; they are founded, with more or
less alteration, on a series of revisions undertaken by Bishop
Challoner in 1749-52 . . .
The changes introduced by him were so considerable that,
according to Cardinal Newman, they almost amounted to a newtranslation. So, also, Cardinal Wiseman wrote, 'To call it any
longer the Douay or Rheimish Version is an abuse of terms. It has
been altered and modified until scarcely any verse remains as it
was originally published.' In nearly every case Challoner's changes
took the form of approximating to the Authorized Version [King
James]. . ."
This is what is commonly sold as the Douay-Rheims Bible. If one
buys a "Douay-Rheims Bible" today it is typically a copy of the
1899 Challoner version, which is but a pale reflection of the REAL
Douay-Rheims. The text does not follow the original Douay-
Rheims, and it is usually found with hardly any of the voluminous
notes and annotations of the original REAL Douay-Rheims.
The "Haydock Douay-Rheims Bible"
The othersupposed "Douay-Rheims" Bible being widely sold today
is the Haydock Bible. Unfortunately it is another Challoner
variation.
The 1909 Catholic Encyclopedia under the subject"Haydock, George Leo" has this to say concerning the"Haydock Bible" now being erroneously sold as the Douay-
Rheims:
Father Haydock's chief publication was a new edition of the
English translation of the Latin Vulgate first published at Reims in
1582, and at Douai in 1609; Bishop Challoner's text of 1750 was the
basis of the work, but in the New Testament Dr. Troy's edition of
1794 is largely followed. The notes are partly original, partly
selected from other writers, those on the New Testament not having
been compiled by Father Haydock. The edition appeared in
Manchester, 1812- 14; Dublin, 1812-13; Edinburgh and Dublin,
1845-8; New York, 1852-6.
So, to recapitulate, we see that Father Haydock's version
1. is NOTthe Douay-Rheims2. is not only the Challoner version, but the New
Testament is largely the Troy version of 1794, and,
3. the notes for the New Testament are NOThis notes."Further, John Henry [later Cardinal] Newman in his July,
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07160a.htmhttp://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07160a.htm7/28/2019 What is the REAL Douay-Rheims Bible?
7/18
1859 "Rambler" article (see below for more) states:
"We must not conclude this enumeration of revisions and
reprints of the Rheims and Douay, ... which were published ...
without direct episcopal sanction... This is Haydock's Bible...
[T]he respective publishers, were printers; but the editor and
annotator employed by the former was his own brother, who was a
priest, the Rev. George Haydock, to whom the edition owes its
celebrity."
--- The "Troy Version" used by Fr. Haydock ---
"The question remains now, what is the "Troy version"? Most
have not heard of it.
John Henry Newman in the July, 1859 "Rambler" published
anarticleentitled "The H istory of the Text of the Rheims andDouay Version of Holy Scripture" He states:
3. Dr. Troy's Bible
"...The revisor was the Rev. Bernard Macmahon, a Dublin priest,
who published his first edition in 1783, in 12mo, with the formal
approbation of his Archbishop, Dr. Carpenter. There is reason for
supposing that it professed to be a continuation of Dr. Challoner'slabours&
Eight years afterwards, in 1791, the same clergyman was selected
by Dr. Troy, his then Archbishop, to superintend an edition...
We doubt ...whether he is further from the Protestant version than
Dr. Challoner."
Thus, the Haydock Bible is NOT the Real Douay-Rheims Bible.
To finish with the information on the Challoner Version, please
recall Cardinal Wiseman's statement:
" ...I n nearl y every case Challoner 's changes took the form of
approximating to the Authori zed Version [K ing James]. . ."

Removing Christ from the Bible
For example, let us consider the determination to dissolve Christ
from the Old Testament. This is plain in the King James Version
(Authorized Version), where the various names of our Lord andSaviour, Jesus Christ, are removed more than 100 times. 21 times
the name Christ is deleted, where it appears in the Vulgate and
Douay.
The names of Jesus removed from Luther's Bible and the King
James:
ofJesus, 1 time, Hab. 3:18
(also in Jude 5);ofThe Just One, 25 times;
ofSaviour, 15 times; ofDominator, 13 times;
ofThe Holy One, 5 times; ofThe Strong One, 6 times;
ofThe Son of Man, 5 times; ofMy Deliverer, 2 times;
ofour Lord, 7 times; ofthe Lamb, 1 time;
ofour Redeemer, 1 time; ofThe Meek One, 1 time;
ofThe Noble One, 1 time; and, ofThe Orient, 1 time.
But God says. . .
God says: "...neither add anything, nor diminish." De. 12:32.
"You shall not add to the word that I speak to you; neither shall
you take away from it." De. 4:2. "Add not anything to his words..."
Pr. 30:6. "If any man shall add to these things, God shall add upon
him the plagues written in this book." Ap. 22:18.
If the name of "God my JESUS" were in the Old Testament,
would you expect Luther to retain it? If so, you would be
disappointed!
In Luther's Habakuk, chapter 3, he expunged the name
CHRIST and the name JESUS from the same page! JESUS is gone
from his Hab. 3:18 which says:
" Ego autem in Domino gaudebo. Et exsultabo in Deo Iesu meo."
That is:
7/28/2019 What is the REAL Douay-Rheims Bible?
9/18
"But I wil l joy in our Lord, and will rejoice in God my JESUS."
But Luther made it:
" Aber i ch will mich fr euen des Herr n, und froehl ich sein i n Gott
meinem Heil ." " I n God, my salvation."
Furthermore, this was not the only occasion that he did it.
The name CHRIST is found 21 times in the Old Testament.
Luther rendered it Judaistically "Messiah" once, "Christ" twice,
and he rendered it out 18 times. He then blotted out the name
CHRIST 24 times in the New Testament.
Then, forty- five (45) times, Martin Luther took the name
JESUS out of the New Testament!
It is extremely important, of course, to comply with the words of
Jesus that we change not a single word of His; however, the name
JESUS can be much more important in one verse than in another!
JESUS is taken out by Luther in his "Bible," in: Mt. 5:1; 8:26;

But What About the Challoner & HaydockVersions?
7/28/2019 What is the REAL Douay-Rheims Bible?
10/18
The answer is not one you will want to hear. Nevertheless here it
is:
Christ was also systematically removed from these so-called
Douay- Rheims Bibles (and the other even worse modern so-called
'Catholic' Bibles).
You see, it isn't only the Luther and the King James Bible
Versions that have deleted the HOLY NAME OF JESUS and the
word CHRIST from Sacred Scripture.
What Catholics especially need to know is that their counterfeit
'Douay-Rheims' Bibles (and other even much worse versions) have
copied the Luther and King James versions by omitting the
word CHRIST many times.
But why should that be surprising to Catholics who should
understand that these so-called 'Catholic' Bible versions are more
similar to the Protestant versions than to the REAL Douay-Rheims
Bible -- which is, in fact, a true and exact translation of THE
official Catholic old Latin Vulgate of Saint Jerome.
The same Latin Vulgate decreed by the Sacred Council of Trent
to be THE Official Bible of the Catholic Church?
Catholics have been deceived into believing that their English
Bibles were based on this REAL Douay-Rheims.
Instead, what they really have is the Challoner and Haydock
(and others) based on Protestant versions of the Bibleinside a cover
which falsely says "Douay Rheims".
Only the REAL Douay-Rheims Bible is faithfulto the officialLatin Vulgate!
Here are a few of the many examples that clearly illustrate thisfact:

The REAL Rheims New Testament
One may ask why the REAL Douay-Rheims has not been
available to the public from the 1600's until the present day.
Obviously there are many reasons, such as the Penal Laws, the
substitution of the Challoner version which falsely claimed the
name " Douay Rheims", etc.
An image of the old English script text in the
REAL Rheims New Testament
However,
the major
reason
(other than
the obvious
efforts of
the enemies
of Christ to
suppress it)
is because ithas never
been
retyped
from the Old English script into modern Engli sh textto make it
accessible to modern readers. Thus, it is extremely hard and
tedious to read and understand.
In an effort spanning over eleven years, and as a corporal and
spiritual work of mercy, Dr. William von Peters has prepared theDouay Rheims for modern readers. First hand retyping the REAL
Rheims New Testament in its entirety, with all the notes and
annotations, into modern English textfor easy reading. Then
continuing on with the REAL Douay Old Testament, also with
notes and annotations.
It is to be emphasized that nothing in the text has been changed
or modified. It has only been transliterated into modern English
text, with archaic spellings updated to modern spellings. Where

You Need The REAL Douay Rheims Bible
The Rt. Rev. Henry Graham (Where We Got the Bible) states
regarding the bringing of the true unadulterated Scripture of the
Rheims New Testament from the Apostles to St. Jerome, to you,today:
"...At a single leap we thus arrive at that great work, completed
by the greatest scholar of his day, who had access to manuscripts
and authorities that have now perished , and who, living so near
the days of the Apostles, and, as it were, close to the very fountain-
head , was able to produce a copy of the inspired writings which,
for correctness, can never be equaled."

The REAL Douay Old Testament
The NewTestament is a
fulfillment of the
Old. Jesus said he
came to fulfill the
Law and the
Prophets.
The first volume of the Douay Old Testament was printed in
1609 and comprises the Books of Genesis through Job. The second
volume containing the rest of the Old Testament, including The
Prayer of Manasses and III and IV Esdras, was printed the
following year in 1610. Both pre-date the King James version of the
Bible.
The Douay comes to us from the Septuagint Old Testament
which was theofficial Bible of the Pre-Christian Era Jews, as well
as of the New Testament Christians.

The Septuagint was early on translated into the Old Latin
Version for the Roman World for whom Latin was the official
language; as Greek had been prior to the coming of the Roman
Empire when the Septuagint had been translated from the original
Hebrew (now lost).
St. Jerome revised the Old Latin with the use of the most ancient
manuscripts available into what became known as the Latin
Vulgate.
The unique notes and annotations of the Douay tie together the
Old and New Testaments so that you can now understand God's
wonderful plan of Salvation!
Now you can understand how the New Testament Church -- the
Catholic Church -- is the culmination and continuation of Old
Testament Israel -- and why the Church Fathers stated that the
Church is Israel!
Now Available
All students of the Bible seeking to diligently ascertain the Word
of God and its meaning, whether Catholic or Protestant, should

This effort to bring you the original and true Douay-Rheims
Bible to you has taken several years of effort. However, the
importance of true Scripture in our day is vitally important in
order to properly discern God's meanings and intent for our lives
so as to gain eternal salvation of our souls.
We must believe
all that God has
revealed -- Sacred
Scripture and
Divine Tradition --
which He made
known for our very
salvation by the
Patriarchs andProphets, and at
last by His Son
Jesus Christ and the
Apostles.
In the early centuries of Christianity, the Holy Bible was the
only book which was read in homes. It was read daily to the entire
family - even the youngest children, so before they had to attend
pagan schools they were well prepared, because they knew Holy
Scripture by heart and thus were able to easily defend and profess
their Catholic Faith, and even to die for it.
Today, learning and studying the true Word of God - with
proper notes for a correct understanding - is even more vital and
necessary for each of us who have been for so long a time deprived
of God's pure and Holy Word..
True Holy Scripture, as the
written Word of God, has always
led Catholics along with Sacred
Tradition as the pillar of doctrine
and Faith. Today, however, it is perhaps even more vital and
necessary to each of us as we move ever closer to the culmination of
history in these Latter Days.
As the Testament of the New Covenant of Jesus Christ, the
Rheims New Testament belongs in your library.

Printed Edition
Many of you have asked repeatedly when the original & true
Douay Rheims Bible would be available in a printed edition.
You see, many people simply do not like to read off of the
computer screen. Either the screen bothers their eyes, or they can't
read for long periods due to the back lighting; even though the
electronic edition allows for convenient search capability and the
ability to adjust the font sizes for better viewing.
Also, many feel that there is nothing like holding the actual text
in one's hands and savoring the printed word; particularly when it
is God's Holy Word.
The ability to "print on demand" means that the book, in this
case The Original & True Rheims New Testament of Anno Domini
1582, or the original & true Douay Old Testament of 1610, can be
printed professionally by an actual printer on an 'as ordered' basis
so that large quantities don't have to be printed in advance to fill
orders.
