English Catholic exiles prepared the original Douay-Rheims Bible to provide an English text reflecting their church’s teaching during the Reformation. Gregory Martin was the principal translator, working under William Allen’s sponsorship and translating from the Latin Vulgate. Bishop Richard Challoner substantially revised its language between 1749 and 1752, making the English easier to understand. The 1899 American edition belongs to this later Challoner tradition, so its wording differs considerably from the original sixteenth- and seventeenth-century publications.
