1582 Rheims New Testament Modern Typeset Large Print Edition
No Customer Reviews
The first classic Catholic translation of the New Testament in English was smuggled into Britain by persecuted Elizabethan Catholics more than four hundred years ago. The original text (very different from Bishop Challoner's substantial revision), has been out of print for nearly a century. It is reissued with a new introduction, in a word-for-word reprint of the first edition, reset in modern type and orthography, enlarged for ease of reading, study and devotion.The 1582 Rheims scrupulously privileged primary sources, principally the Latin Vulgate of St. Jerome, according to extant Renaissance manuscripts. It is the neglected magnum opus of the English Counter-Reformation.
