Read the original Douay-Rheims online
The original Douay-Rheims, the Rheims New Testament (1582) and Douay Old Testament (1609–1610), the first complete English Catholic Bible, not the later Challoner revision (1749–1752) that almost every “Douay-Rheims” in print and online today reproduces. The verbatim 1609 text sits beside a gently modern-spelling reading, with the translators’ marginal glosses, annotations, and the Latin Vulgate. The Pentateuch is available now, with more books added as they are prepared.
