The Douay-Rheims by Baronius Press

I purchased a copy of the large print Douay-Rheims by Baronius Press and took a look it to see if I liked it better than the out-of-print Douay-Rheims bible by TAN Publishing.

    Good comparison, I wish you could go into more detail on the Douay-Rheims Bible. Please make a comparison of the King James 1611 and the Bishop or Coverdale translation.

    I've got the 1914 edition of this from P. J. Kenedy & Sons, and it has the same pagination for the biblical text, though mine includes a short, 2-page article between Revelation and the chronological tables called "The Inspiration of the Bible." I've handled an original 1899 John Murphy Company edition before and it had some interesting misprints, which I noted at the time: On p. 6 of the OT, the last sentence of the Gen 1:26 footnote ("God speaketh here in the plural number, to insinuate the plurality of persons in the Deity.") is missing, and remains missing in my 1914 copy; on p. 14 of the OT, half of the footnote from Gen 9:25 is missing ("But why should Chanaan . . . this prophetical curse."), but it's restored in my 1914 copy; and in a particularly infamous example (dating back to the 1749 original Challoner, if I recall, and still common online, even in the BibleGateway text), on p. 51 of the NT, in Mark 8:6, the first sentence ("And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the gound.") is completely missing, but it's restored in my 1914 copy. What's amazing is that they were able to retain the pagination perfectly, same first and last word on each page, despite having to squeeze that sentence back into the text, and without any extra lines or anything. In the two footnote examples I noted, there's just blank white space in the missing parts. As for the maps, my 1914 edition has the same maps TAN kept, but mine are in color, as you guessed; it has the black-and-white engravings, but spread out across the Bible; and it has headers on the left and right of the book titles on top of each page, moving the page number to the bottom center.
