The Douay-Rheims Bible, a cherished Roman Catholic translation, was originally crafted from the Latin Vulgate into English at the University of Douai in France. The New Testament, published in 1582 at Rheims, marks the origin of its name. This edition was later refined by English Catholic bishop Richard Challoner in 1752, enhancing its readability with updated vocabulary, spelling, and structure.
