douay-rheims

The Douay-Rheims is actually a decade or two older and the first English translation, if memory serves.

The Douay-Rheims is a translation of the Latin vulgate, which is itself a translation of the earliest Greek/Hebrew texts into Latin.

Let me try the Douay-Rheims version of Luke, which should have the Mary and Martha story: wiki_source_page_content_match No matches!

You can buy a copy with the Douay-Rheims translation alongside the Latin from Baronius Press, or read it online[0].

If not, would you consider adding Douay-Rheims, which should be out of copyright now?

My holy grail (no pun intended) is the pre-Challoner version of the Douay-Rheims Bible.

I had this idea two days ago, but to do it with Douay-Rheims.

Douay-Rheims is a translation from Latin to English.

I'd agree that that is among the more serious problems of the KJV (and others with a similar approach to English, e.g., the Douay-Rheims).

The Douay-Rheims translation was published in 1582.

The Douay-Rheims translation is the most accurate.

I personally find myself comparing the KJV with the original Greek as well as the pre-Challoner version of the Douay-Rheims when I want more insight into certain passages.

The vulgate itself is imperfect, and the Douay-Rheims is more like a translation of a translation, so I wouldn't call it the "most accurate"

I was being completely silly – of course the KJV wording “Mary hath chosen that good part” wouldn’t be in the Douay-Rheims translation.

In summary, they (the authors of Douay-Rheims) based their bible translation on Jerome's 4th century Latin translation because they believed that the extant Greek and Hebrew versions had been corrupted by "Iewes and Heretikes".

Let me try the Douay-Rheims version of Luke" is where if you were watching a horror movie you'd say "Don't go down to the basement fridge!" And I think a human when they first see the text match fail would go "hmm--ohh" but Claude starts doing permutations.
