## Douay Description
The Douay-Rheims Bible is a translation of the Bible from the Latin Vulgate into English. It was the first officially authorized Catholic Bible translation in English, and has formed the basis of some later Roman Catholic Bibles in English. It includes the seven Deutero-Canonical books (also known as the Apocrypha).
In 1568, English exiles who were members of the college at Douai, in Flanders, founded by William (later Cardinal) Allen, began the work of preparing a Bible translation, which has become the foundation of nearly all English Catholic versions. In October, 1578, Gregory Martin began the work of preparing an English translation of the Bible for Catholic readers, the first such translation into Modern English. Assisting were William Allen, Richard Bristow, Thomas Worthington, and William Reynolds who revised, criticized, and corrected Dr. Martin's work. The college published the New Testament at (Reims/Rhemes) , in 1582 through John Fogny with a preface and explanatory notes.
Later, the Old Testament was published at in two parts (1609 and 1610) by Laurence Kellam through the efforts of Dr. Worthington, then superior of the seminary. The Douay-Rheims translation had been prepared before the appearance of the New Testament, but the publication was delayed due to financial difficulties. The religious and scholarly adherence to the Latin Vulgate text led to the less elegant and idiomatic words and phrases often found in the translation. In some instances where no English word conveyed the full meaning of the Latin, a Latin word was Anglicized and its meaning defined in a glossary. Although ridiculed by critics, many of these words later found common usage in the English language. Spellings of proper names and the numbering of the Psalms are adopted from the Latin Vulgate.
In 1749 Dr. Richard Challoner began a major revision of the Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible and texts, the spellings and phrasing of which had become increasingly archaic in the almost two centuries since the translations were first produced. He modernized the diction and introduced a more fluid style, while faithfully maintaining the accuracy of Dr. Martin's texts. This revision became the 'de facto' standard text for English speaking Catholics until the twentieth century. It is still highly regarded by many for its style, although it is now rarely used for liturgical purposes. The notes included in this version are generally attributed to Bishop Challoner.
The 1610 printing of the second time of the Old Testament includes an appendix containing the non-canonical books 'Prayer of Manasses,' 'Third Booke of Esdras,' and 'Fourth Booke of Esdras' as part of this Catholic Bible. While not part of Challoner's revision, the 1610 texts are placed in the appendices. Also included are the original texts of two short books, 'The Prophecie of Abdias' and 'The Catholike Epistle of Iude the Apostle,' to give the reader a sense of the language of the first editions in comparison to the Challoner revision. Further background on the Douay-Rheims version may be found in a selection from the preface to the 1582 edition and the original glossary included in the appendices.

## Douay Reviews in United States

### *---- "Pornographic Ads made me delete"
I had high hopes for this app. Within 10seconds of opening Genesis nasty pornographic ads popped up. Immediately deleted.
-- 1Tradwife, 2026-01-29

### ****- "New feature that would be great"
The app is great and this has been a huge help with me being able to read the Bible any where, although 
It would be great if I could see the chapter at the top!
-- JohnSobeski, 2025-10-10

### ***** "Great App"
It’s exactly what it says it is, a Douay Rheims Bible.
-- isaiahdaniel myers, 2025-06-01

### ****- "Translation is Good"
However the app places Judith, Tobit, Sirach, Wisdom, Baruch, and Maccabees in the ‘apocryphal’ section at the end and separates sections of Esther and Daniel from their respective books, as Luther did, and the psalms are misnumbered. Perhaps the developer is protestant?
-- MantheiRyanKade, 2024-01-29

### ****- "Chapters"
I love this handy resource - my only recommendation is to please make it easier to locate chapters. If it’s a training issue please let me know!
-- Phel_Jones, 2024-01-24

### *---- "No chapters"
Books with multiple chapters (such as Colossians, which has 4 books) only shows 1 book. Searches for 2nd-4th book doesn’t work
-- G0dzillasRus, 2023-11-26

### ****- "Catholic Bible most traditional"
Douay-Rheims Bible, this Catholic version is the most traditional to have the app in hand to mobile phones… Thank you!
-- topmodel7, 2023-02-02

### **--- "Bugs?"
I have downloaded this app several times on my iPhone. No chapter numbers or tools. Works fine on android.
-- sam8576, 2020-10-13

### *---- "Useless"
They only give you the first chapter. You have to buy the rest.
-- Ai Weiping, 2020-07-14

### ***** "Excellent translation"
Correct language and words from St Jerome
-- jmjamrjclll, 2020-05-07
