A pre-Civil War Roman Catholic
Bible. This enormous 1857 Catholic antique family Bible
has thick leather covered boards embossed with a cross. The text of this Bible is the so called Douay-Rheims Bible (or Doway
Rheims Bible or D-R Bible), "translated from the Latin Vulgate
... with useful notes, critical, historical, controversial, and explanatory,
selected from the most eminent commentators, and the most able
critics, by the Rev. Geo. Leo Haydock." Bible's with complete (VERY EXTENSIVE) in-line commentary of Haydock are very rare
to find, as most of the Bibles that were printed only have a selection
of his work, this Bible has the complete commentary! Numerous full page engravings and
illustrations. Contains various approbations
of American bishops and archbishops. The family section has some
entries for the Riker family.
 
This
Bible is in a VERY GOOD condition, it has been professionally
restored fairly recently: the spine and the covers) and its
corners) have been rebacked and the original leather covers were
mostly restored. Some of the pages in the front of the Bible were
restored as well. Thanks to this the binding is now solid it can be
open and read like a new book! All pages seem to be present, there are
(child?) pencil scribbles mostly at some of the blank pages (hardly
ever in the text) , no tears, some
foxing/coloring/age spots. A nicely preserved/restored Haydock Bible!
