Did any version of the Douay-Rheims version separate out the deutero books into an apocrypha section?

In the original Douay O.T. (1609-10, 1635) the Books of Esdras III & IV, along with the Prayer of Manasses are appended at the end with a note that although the Church does not recognize these Scriptures as canonical, They have always appeared in the earlier editions of the Vulgate. They are not specifically called apocrypha though.

That may be it, I was discussing the deuterocanonical books with someone in bible study and he said his father had a 1950’s version of the Douay-Rheims and said there was a apocrypha section that said the books were not deemed to be inspired but were useful. Now this sounds like “protestant” language and i always thought these books were always interspersed in Catholic bibles in the OT following the Septuagint. I am wondering if he was confused and it was really not the Deuteros that were separated.

I think you mean following the Pentateuch, not the Septuagint. The Septuagint, which is the Greek Old Testament that the Vulgate was translated from, includes the deuterocanonical books.

I was trying to say following the pattern of the Septuagint (interspersed with the rest of the OT books) - didn’t come out right 🙂
