We have a family bible from the 1950’s which, I was surprised to discover the other day, is Duouy Confraternity Bible, but it does not have a binding like that. I’ll have to get back to you about the publisher.

"In 1941 the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine produced the Confraternity translation, which came out in various editions. All editions have the Confraternity translation of the New Testament, billed as “a revision of the Challoner-Rheims version.”
After the 1941 edition was published, the scholars set to work translating the Old Testament from the Vulgate. However, after Pope Pius XII, in Divino Afflante Spiritu, § 16, encouraged translation from “… the original text which, having been written by the inspired author himself, has more authority and greater weight than any even the very best translation,” the scholars abandoned their translation from the Vulgate and began a new translation of the Old Testament from the original Hebrew codexes.
Advocates of the Confraternity New Testament point out that it is the primary translation of the Church’s official Bible that is easily readable by today’s reader. The language, formal but contemporary, is beautiful and inspiring. Readers trying to decide between the RSVCE and the Confraternity should consider that the available Confraternity editions have much better explanatory notes than the Ignatius or Sceptre RSVCE editions. Between the Navarre RSVCE and the Confraternity, it is choosing between two treasures. Catholics who can afford both will enjoy having both in the house."

Thanks for the responses. Actually, I’m looking for the publisher of the specific edition depicted in the photo. Does anyone know who publishes that particular edition of the Douay-Confraternity Bible?

It doesn’t say in the front of the Bible? That is strange.
