has an exquisite decorative cover which consists of thick leather covered boards embossed and
with intricate
artwork (among others, depicting Jesus and Mary) and a (gold gilt) cross
plus two fully operational (brass) metal clasps, each in
the shape of a cross The text of this Bible is the so called Douay-Rheims Bible (or Doway
Rheims Bible or D-R Bible), "revised and corrected according
to the Clementine edition of the Scriptures", which is an English translation from the
Latin Vulgate with "annotations by the Rev. Dr. Challoner,
together with references, an historical and chronological index and
a table of the epistles and gospels for all the Sundays and holy days
throughout the year, and of the most notable feasts in the Roman
calendar." Numerous full page engravings and
illustrations (including from the French
artist Gustave Doré). Contains various approbations
of American bishops and archbishops. At the end of the Bible is
a completely unmarked family section.
 
This
Bible is in a VERY GOOD condition. The Bible's binding, spine and cover
are in great shape. All pages are present, no writings, no tears, some
foxing/coloring/age spots. The covers and spine shows some minor age related
scuffs and wear. An nicely preserved, "un-used" Roman
Catholic Bible.
