it was finished in 1610. the New Testament was finished in 1582, and the Old Testament was finished in 1610
AnswerThe translators of the original Douay or Douay-Rheims Bible did not refer back to early manuscripts, but used the Latin Vulgate, which had been declared authoritative for Catholics.
This is the story of the real Douay Rheims bible. 1. The real one was translated into English from the Latin Vulgate in the late 1500s, early 1600s. 2. This was ruined by Bishop Challoner. This is the Douay Rheims you see all over the place today. 3. Haydock continued the ruination using Challoner's text. 4. The true Latin Vulgate transliterated into English (not a word changed, just literally translated and ancient spellings modernized) is the "real Douay Rheims". Translated by Dr. William von Peters. Found at www.RealDouayRheims.com. This is the only true Bible in all the world. The Latin Vulgate is the oldest Bible text available anywhere and was used for 1,000 years, based itself on the Greek Septuagint (translated by 70 scholars, who all miraculously agreed on the translation). The 70 scholars codified the ancient Aramaic and Jewish texts into the Septuagint. There are no other texts! Don't believe it for a minute. There's nothing else, nothing older.
The Douay-Rheims Bible contains 73 books, the same number found in the Catholic Bible. It is divided into the usual chapters and verses found in most Bibles, with a total of 1,189 chapters.
Depends on which Bible you mean...There are 66 books in the King James Bible and 73 in the Catholic Douay Bible.
If ordination as a priest in the Catholic Church, the Latin or English Douay Bible is very appropriate.
