-- The 2nd Douai Bible. No further issue appeared until 115 years later in 1750. This 1635 ed follows the general arrangement of the earlier text, but the 750 ed. was a drastic revision by Richard Challoner -- Cousturier (Le Cousturier), Jean. Printer ? or bookseller ? in Rouen 1627-1640. -- Richard Challoner (1691-1781) Herbert 1086 -> 1749 The Holy Bible Newly revised + corrected, according to the Clementin (1592) ed. of the Scriptures. 12° (153 x 77) [Dublin?] The N. T. .... The 1st ed. of Challoner's revision of the Rheims N.T. Of those who chose to revise the Rheims-Douai version, the most important figure was Bishop Challoner, a scholar at Douai. In 1749 he issued his N.T., followed by the whole Bible in 1750. He continued to revise the work until his death in 1781.
