DOUAI-RHEIMS BIBLE – The New Testament of Iesus Christ ... Translated from Latin into English by Gregory Martin, under the supervision of William Allen and Richard Brostow. Rheims: John Fogny, 1582 — The Holie Bible faithfully translated into English, out of the Authentical Latin ... By the College of Doway. Douai: Laurence Kellam, 1609-10.
First edition of the Roman Catholic version of the Bible in English. Martin's translation adheres closely to the Latin, while also drawing on existing vernacular editions. This Douai-Rheims version exerted a strong influence on the King James Bible of 1611, transmitting to it an extensive vocabulary and distinctive phrases. Darlow & Moule 177 and 300; STC 2884 and 2207.
2 works in 3 volumes, quarto (vols. I-II: 217 x 155mm, vol. III: 225 x 156mm). Titles printed within woodcut border, woodcut head- and tail-pieces, numerous woodcut initials (sustained waterstaining, vol. III with extensive restoration to title affecting text and lacking the preface a2-c4, a few minor marginal chips). Vols. I-II: contemporary calf (rebacked and repaired); vol. III: 18th-century quarter reversed calf. Provenance: one leaf with contemporary annotations on papal authority.
