What Bibles bear the Imprimatur?

[Omyo12]

I was searching through this site and haven’t found a list so I thought I’d ask, what Bibles bear the Imprimatur?

I know the Douay-Rheims (both the original and Challoner revision) and the New American Bible both have the Imprimatur(s)
and the Revised Standard Version - Second Catholic Edition doesn’t.

However I also know that even though the RSV-2CE doesn’t have it doesn’t mean I cannot study it. However what other Bibles do?

Does the Jerusalem Bible have it, what else? How about NRSVCE, NJB, GNB?

The GNB does have an Imprimatur, but you’ll find it’s rarely printed in the bible, in the normal location(after or on the title page) because the publisher has a bad cost cutting practise of simply printing the dust jacket with “Catholic Version” and wacking it on a “Deuterocanon/Apocrypha Edition”. The Dust Jacket usually has the Imprimatur on standard catholic versions of this bible.

The Jerusalem Bible, NRSVCE and NJB also have an Imprimatur.

The reason the RSV-2CE doesn’t have an Imprimatur is because it is a light revision of the RSV-CE and does not have to reapply for one. Ignatius Press (who owns the rights to the RSV-2CE) submitted it to the Vatican for aprroval for use in the Catholic Liturgy, the Vatican sent it back with some changes it suggested, which were incorporated into the current RSV-2CE, which recieved Vatican approval for use in the Liturgy.

Here is the list from the USCCB: usccb.org/dpp/translations.htm

Of course, this list begins in 1991, so the NAB OT and revised NT are not listed, along with the RSV, JB, or NJB. All of them are approved.

Of course, USCCB is not the only English-speaking Bishop’s Conference. A number of important contemporary Catholic Bibles, including the JB, the NJB, and the Christian Community Bible were translated and received imprimatur outside the US.

The Ronald Knox Bible has always had the Imprimatur and Nihil Obstat (in their American printings.)

Ah, so the first RSV-CE does have an imprimatur?

The RSV-CE has the Imprimatur.

The 1965 edition of the Oxford Annotated Bible with the Apocrypha (which contains the RSV) also reportedly received the imprimatur of Cardinal Cushing (although it is not printed in the volume, it is noted in the preface of later editions).
