The Holie Bible faithfully translated into English, out of the Authentical Latin ... By the College of Doway. Douai: Laurence Kellan, 1609-10. 2 works in 3 volumes, 4° (215 x 158 mm). Titles printed within border, woodcut head- and tail-pieces, numberous woodcut initials. (Slight darkening to titles, occasional some minor marginal dampstaining, minor worming to inner margin of approximately 60 leaves of vol 3 affecting a few letters.) 19th-century calf (skillfully rebacked). Provenance : Leonard L. Hartley (bookplate). FIRST EDITIONS of the Roman Catholic (Douai-Rheims) version of the Bible in English. Martin's translation adheres closely to the Latin, but freely uses existing versions. Most striking are the resemblances to Coverdale's diglot of 1538. This Rheims version exerted a strong influence on the Royal version of 1611, transmitting to it an extensive vocabulary and distinctive phrases. The complete work is commonly known as the "Douay-Rheims version." With two inserted engraved folding maps in New Testament. Herbert 177; Darlow & Moule 231; STC 2884, and 2207.
