Original leaves from famous Bibles, leaf 038: Second Douai Bible, 1635 A. D.

Bible. English. Douai. 1635

Description:	Original caption: The second edition of the Roman Catholic Bible in English, which succeeded the first (1609-1610) by twenty-five years. No further issue appeared until 115 years later (1750). In general arrangement the 1635 edition follows the earlier text, but the 1750 one was a drastic revision by Richard Challoner, in which he weakened the forceful English of the original Elizabethan translators. The Douai Bibles are sometimes called rosin Bibles from the reading Is there noe rosen in Galaad in Jeremiah viii. 22. First book, Genealogies--Upper margin.; Single column with illustrated initial letter.; Provenance: Original leaves collected and assembled in portfolios by Otto F. Ege of Cleveland, Ohio.; Portfolios were sold and disbributed by New York bookseller Philip C. Duschnes, ca. 1948. This archival material has been provided for educational purposes.
