This bible has been around since shortly before the KJV. What exactly did you want to know?
 
Yes, I understand. I was referring to this particular edition of the Douay, however. (I apologize for not being clearer).

I was unaware that there were any Douay-Rheims family Bibles currently in print (other than the Haydock Bible, which is much more expensive). So I was wondering if any one could give me any more information.
 
There are several publishers who publish the Douay Rheims. Besides the Haydock edition, I know that Baronius Press, TAN Books, and Loreto Publishers publish the Douay-Rheims.
 
The publisher has a website at [firesidepublishing.com ](http://firesidepublishing.com but) , but I don’t see anything about a Douay Bible; just NAB. They do have what look like a nice collection of family Bibles.
I am not familiar with the company… Maybe they have heard from people who want another translation?..Anyhow, you can check their site.
Also, CBD is generally a good company to deal with. They have amazing low prices on many of their books.

True. But none of those are Family Bibles. According to the website, this one is:

“This Bible is translated from the Latin Vulgate, diligently compared with the Hebrew, Greek, and other languages. Features: full color presentation page; twelve page family record section; Scripture “call-outs” of favorite verses; white padded cover with gold page edges; acid-neutral Bible paper. Special sections also included: celebration of the Eucharist; art masterpieces of The Life of Christ; Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Rosary; the Way of the Cross.”

I was not aware of any such edition, and I was trying to see if anyone else had heard of it.
 
The publisher has a website at firesidebibles.com

They appear to specialize in family Bibles . They don’t have this one there–all they have is NAB–but it does sound to be new, so you may be able to find out more there…
Hope this helps.

The Loreto edition of the Douay-Rheims Bible, although not a “family Bible”, because it isn’t as big as one, it does have pages for keeping records of births, baptisms, first communions, confirmations, marriages, deaths, etc. if that’s what you’re looking for.
If you do decide to get an actual family Bible though, choose the RSV over the NAB.
 
Catholic Comopany is showing a “new” Douay Rehims Bible that’s supposedly the first digitsal typeset edition. I seem to remember a thread about this a while ago, is this significant at all?

Thanks for the link! It is very good. However, what I was referring to was a family Bible…

I just discovered that the Bible I was referring to is also listed on walmart.com

Douay-Rheims Family Bible (Fireside Catholic Publishing)

I found some additional information:

*Pub. Date: Mar 2005, Publisher: Fireside Catholic Publishing
ISBN: 1556652720, Dimensions (inches): 11.24x8.4x2.0 *

Again, thanks for the help!
 
Maybe I am a “Modernist” or something, but I have a hard time trying to figure out why anyone would spend big bucks on a new bible that contains an old translation from the Latin Vulgate, when more modern versions, some of which are well and accurately translated from the older Greek and Hebrew and that use more understandable English without the old stilted constructions and all those “thees and thous.” Course that’s why some like the KJV because it sounds more mellflous to the ear.

I was under the impression that there was going to be a modern translation of the Vulgate.
