Douay-Rheims Bible

I'm not Catholic, but great suggestion (question). I don't know the answer, of course.

But I can opine to why DRA should be tagged (actually RI'd even better). The DR is the twin of the KJV ... it was slightly ahead of the KJV, and as each moved forward, the DR would influence the KJV, and later the KJV influence the DR (Challoner). Only again, to see addional changes in the late 1800s, with the Clementine, and new manuscripts being digested (DRA).

So, it'd be a nice addition (tagging). Of course, the Clementine got the Logos heavy-lifting, a few years back.

Now, if I could pull strings at Bellingham HQ, I'd want the old DR-Bishops Bible combo (right before the KJV). Now, THAT one would be worth its weight.

Douay Rheims or Challoner version

 OK how to you tell which version you have of the Douay-Rheims

 To test if it is the 1609 / 1582     

Gen 1:5  that made one day not just one day   

Psa  1:1  gone not walked   

Mat 2:1   Sages not wise men

 (5) And he called the light, Day, and the darkness, Night: and there was evening & morning, that made one day. Reading of 1609 Version

Psa 1:1     OT Part 2

Did my homework.  Clementine is the name of the version of the vulgate in Logos.

And where do we find versions prior to 1592?

 From a Google search:

The Sixto-Clementine Vulgate or Clementine Vulgate (Latin: Vulgata Clementina) is the edition promulgated in 1592 by Pope Clement VIII of the Vulgate—a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible that was written largely by Jerome.

 The so-called Clementine Vulgate, issued by Pope Clement VIII in 1592, became the authoritative biblical text of the Roman Catholic Church. From it the Confraternity Version was translated in 1941. Various critical editions have been produced in modern times.

 [Where I saw the word ‘Clementine’ I thought that it was a version of the DR]

From a comment on that site "Here’s a an example of minor differences between the old Jerome/Gallican/Clementine Psalter and the Nova Vulgata Psalter."  They see the three, at least where the Psalter covers, to be very similar. 

[[I know of Jerome. I found some information on Clementine. Now I need to research Gallican.  [I am in over my head] ]]

And thanks for adding your wisdom!

With the DR using later Vulgate versions (Metzger), prior to the Clementine.

Thanks

Well I intended to point you to some excellent Gallican chant but it appears to be out of print. 

Title and Author please.  Every once in a while I google the used book market.
