Haydock Bible

The outstanding and unique feature of this large-print Douay-Rheims Bible is the comprehensive Catholic commentary compiled by Fr. Haydock from over 200 Church Fathers, Doctors, and Scripture scholars such as the great Cornelius a Lapide. Though in smaller type than the Biblical text, the thousands of footnotes still take up from one to three fourths of each double-column page, and are a gold mine of invaluable information! Reproduced from the 1859 edition, this heirloom volume, bound in burgundy leather with gold-leaf image and text on cover and spine, printed on fine Bible paper with sewn-in satin ribbon marker, and measuring 8.5 by 11 inches, contains both Old and New Testaments, introductions to each Biblical book, an illustrated Bible Dictionary, a History of the Books of the Bible, indexes, illustrations, tables of weights and measures, pages to register family births, marriages, and deaths, and much more. The one book Gerry would grab to save if his personal Biblical library of thousands of volumes were going up in flames.
