The Holy Bible, Douay-Rheims

The original Douay-Rheims, the Rheims New Testament of 1582 and the Douay Old Testament of 1609–1610, the first complete English Catholic Bible, faithfully set from the first printing. Read each chapter in the original 1609 spelling or lightly modernized — toggle between the two and only the spelling changes. Available books are highlighted; the rest are in preparation.

This is the original translation, not the later Challoner revision (1749–1752) that nearly every modern “Douay-Rheims” in print and online reproduces. About this edition →
