Douay Version - Same as Douay-Rheims?

[Lots2Learn]

I have a 1949 “New Catholic Edition of the Holy Bible.” It is translated from the Latin Vulgate.
The New Testament is “Confraternity Edition…A Revision of the Challoner-Rheims Version Edited by Catholic Scholars under the Patronage of the Episcopal Committee of the Confraternity of Christian Doctorine”

There is a passage from Pope Pius XII Encyclical Letter “Divino Afflante Spiritu” regarding reading Scripture.

All this to ask…how does it compare the Douay-Rheims that everyone suggests. Should I still invest in the DR, or is this version fine?

It is a Douay-Rheims Bible just a later revision. The Article is a little out of date (from 1913 at the latest.) but it should give you a better idea of what you have. newadvent.org/cathen/05140a.htm
[Edit]Also there is a similar thread which you might fine helpful here.

You have an EXCELLENT version there! It has the new Confraternity edition of the New Testament (which was translated from the original languages), and a translation of the Old Testament from the Latin Vulgate, originally called the Douay Old Testament, since it was first published in 1609.

That is a difficult edition to find, and a very good one. Keep it safe!
