The Gospels and Psalms are taken from the Original and True Douay Rheims of 1610. This is the REAL Douay Rheims Bible, not the Challoner translation falsely sold as the Douay Rheims. It is without the extensive marginal notes and annotations for daily scriptural readings. This is a faithful rendition of St. Jerome's Latin Vulgate, from the earliest extant manuscripts now unavailable, into modern English type without accretions, deletions, or political correctness. It was accepted by the Church as the official Bible in English.
