Description:
"First edition, 1582. The first English Bible produced by Roman Catholics. It was published by English exiles at Rheims, France, during the reign of Elizabeth I. The Old Testament was published in two volumes at Douay, France, in 1609/1610. The translation was made from the Latin Vulgate which Catholics believed to be superior to existing Greek translations of the NT. The King James translators were influenced by the Rheims NT and used some of the wording. The OT translation appeared too late to be used by translators working on the KJV. "
