Review: Incredible Bible to Have! - Incredible purchase given the quality and the price. The size is perfect to carry around and travel with, though the lettering is small, it is really crisp and clear. I really like the two ribbon placeholders, really helps me personally to keep place in the Old Testament and the New Testament. I really also enjoyed reading the three Papal Encyclicals on Holy Scripture in the beginning after the Preface of Providentissimus Deus by Pope Leo XIII, Spiritus Paraclitus by Pope Benedict XV, and Divino Afflante Spiritu by Pope Pius XII. These Encyclicals really help you understand the importance of Scripture and Magisterial interpretation. Another great thing is the artwork of different scenes throughout the Bible in between the Old and New Testament. I find the text's readability very well done, and well suited to Scripture (Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the NRSV-CE, NAB, and NJB versions) in a sense of authenticity. There are going to be many archaic words, which you can easily Google, but I found that most of it can be understood by context (such as adjectives and adverbs). All in all, very beautifully written and revised from a solid heritage of the Church's translation. I also found the annotations at the bottom giving brief interpretations in line with the Church's tradition very useful, especially for certain verses or phrases difficult to understand. I would highly recommend this version of the Bible, especially this Baronius Press Edition, for those who really enjoy reading, praying with and reflecting on Scripture. I can't really much express how much I personally enjoy this Bible, just that I'm reading it nearly everyday.
Review: Quality Bible! - I ordered this bible because I wanted the beautiful poetic language that you get with the King James Version (the language is similar), but I also wanted a Bible that included the Deuterocanonical books. As many of you know, only Catholic Bibles consider them as part of the official canon (and rightfully so). I also wanted to be able to compare the scripture word for word alongside the Protestant King James Version because of the fact that the Douay-Rheims influenced the translation of the KJV to a great degree. The construction is superb! The binding is stitched, not glued. The edges of the Bible are gilded in gold foil evenly and, it seems, with great care! It possesses two ribbon markers made out of some kind of nylon or synthetic fiber. One is gold and one is red. The ribbons seem to unravel at the ends so I suggest that you take a match, lighter, or some kind of flame and LIGHTLY singe the ends to prevent further distortion. The pages are thin but nothing thinner than you would expect for a bible. In the beginning before the book of Genesis there are three Papal Encyclicals: Providentissimus Deus by Pope LeoXIII, Spiritus Paraclitus by Pope Benedict XV, and Divino Afflante Spiritu by Pope Pius XII. In between the Old Testament and the New Testament contains drawings/engravings of many famous Biblical scenes such as "The Adoration" "The Crucifixion of our Lord" and "The Transfiguration." The engravings are printed on thicker pages which are glossed over. Immediately after the engravings is the family register. For ease of writing, it is not glossy but rather resembles the rest of the pages. The only gripes I have about this bible are the fact that the leather is a bit stiff and that the ribbon markers unravel. Even then, the problems are so minuscule that they would not greatly affect the star rating that I give it. Overall, this bible is a great addition to anybody's library especially if you want ALL of the books that have been a part of the Bible since before the 1500's and the Protestant Reformation. I commend Baronius Press for creating such a beautiful work of art!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best compact travelling Catholic Bible.
*by B***0 on September 16, 2015*

This is a beautiful, and very well thought out Bible. The fact that it is a reprint of the venerable Douay/Rheims Bible makes this bible extra remarkable! It is 6-7/8" tall and loaded with antique style engravings illustrating the Bible stories. It has two ribbons for place markers. The text is in two columns per page, and not at all difficult to read (with my glasses.) There are many full color map pages at the end of the Bible. It is what might be called a small 12mo. The only smaller Catholic Bibles available (to my knowledge) is the compact New American Bible at 6" tall, and the Catholic Truth Society's "Compact New Catholic Bible" which is only 5-3/4" tall. The CTS bible is an excellent Bible, being the Jerusalem Bible and Grail Psalter translations, which are approved for use in English Liturgies. Anyway, this Baronius Press Douay Rheims is a welcome size and version. It will make an excellent traveling bible, since it is smaller than the Gideon bibles, and Catholic, so therefore being a complete unabridged canonical Bible.
