Preface: "This edition of the Sacred Scriptures is called the Douay Bible, since it is substantially the translation of the Latin Vulgate made toward the end of the sixteenth century by Gregory Martin of the English College of Douay, with the assistance of his fellow exiles in France. The revision of Bishop Challoner in the middle of the eighteenth century and later minor changes, while adapting it to the needs of its modern readers, have not fundamentally affected its character. Its own excellent qualities and the authority of ecclesiastical superiors, continue to maintain its position as the Bible of the English-speaking Catholics the world over. The present issue contains the same text as its predecessors. The principle changes in the notes are in chronology. Recent discoveries in Bible lands and study of the Bible itself have led to new conclusions about some of the dates of the events of sacred history. The conclusions herein embodied are based on the authority of the best Catholic scholars."
