WTB: Douay Rheims or Vulgate Bible

dueSicilie · October 23, 2013, 09:51:26 AM

I love old books. I would really like to buy an old Douay-Rheims or Vulgate bible.

PM me!

Anyone?

eBay is a good resource, generally.

I've got a Confraternity Version that I'd be happy to sell. St. Joseph textbook edition.

Tan Books used to carry a very nice 1899 Challoner Vulgate. The English is easy to read.

You still looking? I have a DRB from the mid to late 1800's, good condition, but I have no idea what the value might be. I can take pics. It has a personal inscription and some family tree info in it from the original owners.

If still looking, please respond here AND send a PM so I don't miss it.

Thanks.

I did not see your response! Do you still have it?

I shall send you a PM also.

I've been reading the Biblica Sacra juxta Vulgatam Clementinam - it's a fairly large book; and I would like a small-format, bedside version. Anyone know where I can get such a thing?

I do not know, but have you perchance a cunning plan?

...was wondering when I was going to run into a fellow "Black Adder" fan, lol. I was last night looking for a good "I have a cunning plan" scene but it appears the best ones have been taken down from youtube. I did find, however, a few episodes that were either never aired/were pilots, and were not part of the boxed release.

blackadder was great. seasons three and four were my favourites, season two was great too but the first run while it had some great moments just wasn't as good as the rest.

to the OP: do any booksellers where your at sell the "Family Fireside Edition" bibles? The Vulgate version of those is a real treasure.

I agree completely. It took a while to find it's legs. I still love watching season one though; there are some great moments, as in two. But three and four are just superb, some moments of real genius. I won't say anymore so not to ruin it for anyone else.

Attached in PDF to this post.

Let me know if you can't see it and we can go the email route.

I'm simply unsure as to the exact printing date of this Bible, but I suppose if we could find out the earliest year of each Bishop, who approved it, that would give us a no earlier than year. If we can figure out when the first one to die was, that would give us a no later than year.

When I looked it all up before, I was thinking sometime between 1850 and late 1800s or so, but it's been a while since I did the math.

This page contains a bunch of title page scans with publishing year info:

A diligent comparison with the copy in hand, in addition to the NET/NLT dates of the approving Bishops should yield a good ballpark estimate.

Oddly, many of the title pages on the website contain printing year, with the exception of 1845 (and perhaps others -- haven't been able to compare all yet).

My copy does not have the printing year. One will also notice the "With Annotations" is also in capitalize, fancy print. That feature is not common to all printings, so it should help narrow the potential years.
