I am trying to find out about the privately published facsimile of the 1635 reprint of the English College of Douay Old Testament (in two volumes), and the original 1582 Rheims New Testament (in one volume) with a Preface by Gordon Winrod of Gainsville, Missouri, dated July 27, 1987.

Does anyone know how many copies of this facsimile were printed or have any other information about this edition? Any help you can offer would be much appreciated.
 
Hi All:

For anyone who may be interested, an ELECTRONIC FACSIMILE EDITION of the 1582 Rheims (Rhemes) NT in Adobe PDF format on CD is available at:

ebooknook.com/rhemes/

The Preface to Gordon Winrod’s privately published 3-volume D-R OT-NT facsimile can be found at:

drbo.org/preface_winrod.htm

Considering that Winrod was not a Catholic, his argument for the superiority of the original D-R makes very interesting reading.
 
I did a Google search for Gordon Winrod, and he is linked to the Christian Identity Movement (as in white supremacists, anti-semites, paranoid, Ruby Ridge people, etc.)
So . . . stay far away from it and get a DR Bible that is published by Catholics.

The original edition of the D-R, and all later editions, were published by Catholics. Winrod brought out a facsimile of the original edition.
 
Not exactly what the original poster was looking for, but highly related, last night I discovered a website (The Real Rheims New Testament where one can purchace a copy of the original Douay-Rheims Bible on 3 CDs, and even a printed version of the New Testament portion of the Bible (as a “printed on demand” book on lulu.com). The only differences from the original are, as the site explains:

*In an effort spanning over eleven years, and as a corporal and spiritual work of mercy, Dr. William von Peters has prepared the Douay Rheims for modern readers. First hand retyping the REAL Rheims New Testament in its entirety, with all the notes and annotations, into modern English text for easy reading. Then continuing on with the REAL Douay Old Testament, also with notes and annotations.
Code: 
 It is to be emphasized that nothing in the text has been changed or modified. It has only been transliterated into modern English text, with archaic spellings updated to modern spellings. Where possible the archaic spelling has been left intact to preserve the "flavor" of this historic text*
They give a couple of examples you can look at (Genesis 1 and Matthew 24)

On a note of warning, this site seems to take Douay-Rheims onlyism to a whole new level. Apparantly even the Challoner revision of the Douay-Rheims Bible and the Haydock Bible are “counterfeits”. Needless to say, I don’t agree with any type of Douay-Rheims onlyism in the first place, much less that type.
