Product Details

This listing is for a vintage 1914 edition of The Holy Bible, translated from the Latin Vulgate. This is a Douay-Rheims version, published by P. J. Kenedy & Sons, New York, with copyright by John Murphy Company. It includes the Old and New Testaments, with annotations, references, and a historical and chronological index. The edition features numerous ecclesiastical approvals from prominent cardinals including James Cardinal Gibbons, John Cardinal Farley, and William Cardinal O'Connell, as well as notes on indulgences. The book has a sturdy, dark cloth hardcover binding and features red-edged pages. While showing wear consistent with its age, including some fraying on the spine ends and cover wear, the interior text block remains largely intact and readable. This is a significant piece for collectors of religious texts, vintage Bibles, or Catholic literature.
