Rare professionally Restored 1888 Douay-Rheims Antique Catholic Family Bible James Duffy Dublin

For sale is an exceptionally well-preserved and professionally restored 19th-century edition of the traditional Catholic Holy Bible, the Douay-Rheims translation. This specific volume was published in Dublin by James Duffy & Co., Limited, a notable publisher of Catholic texts in Ireland during the Victorian era. The edition is an authentic piece of Irish Catholic heritage.

This specific Douay-Rheims Antique Catholic is a "survivor" that has been significantly enhanced by a $450 professional restoration in 2024, making it structurally superior to nearly any other unrestored copy on the market.

Publication Date: The Approbation page (ecclesiastical approval for publication) dated 1888.
Translation: Contains the complete Old Testament (originally published at Douay, A.D. 1609) and the New Testament (originally published at Rheims, A.D. 1582), diligently compared with the Latin Vulgate and revised with annotations and a historical index.
Condition: Excellent, professionally restored condition.
Dimensions: The book measures approximately 8 1/2" tall x 6" wide x 3" thick.

Condition Report: A Rare Find

This Bible's condition makes it a desirable collector's item:

Exterior: The Bible has been beautifully restored with new black covers, a new spine, and new endpapers. The binding is tight and sturdy, ensuring longevity.

Interior: The pages are in outstanding condition—clean, bright pages with no foxing (browning or spotting), no rips, and no tears. This is remarkable for a book of its age.

Family Pages: Crucially for collectors and families, the interior family record pages are entirely blank, meaning you can make this unique piece of history a new family heirloom.

This unique item is an impressive historical artifact, a beautiful display piece, and a valuable collector's item ready for a new home.

Given the venerable age and considerable scale of this Bible, I approach its handling with the utmost caution. To ensure the preservation of the binding, I utilize a raised support for the covers to mitigate stress on the spine during use. I highly recommend adopting similar archival practices for any significant historical volumes to prevent structural deterioration.

We have uploaded 18 pictures so you can truly appreciate the binding and the craftsmanship of this Bible.
