Printed by John G. Murdoch, 41, Castle Street, Holborn, LONDON. The title page reads as follows: "The HOLY BIBLE translated from the Latin Vulgate diligently compared with the Hebrew, Greek and other editions in divers languages. The Old Testament FIRST PUBLISHED BY THE ENGLISH COLLEGE AT DOUAY A.D 1609 and THE NEW TESTAMENT FIRST PUBLISHED BY THE ENGLISH COLLEGE AT RHIEMS A.D 1582. With annotations references, historical and chronological index etc WITH THE APPROBATION OF HIS GRACE THE MOST REV. DR. CULLEN LORD ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN, PRIMATE OF IRELAND, DELEGATE OF THE APOSTOLIC SEE ETC" This is a beautiful Family Bible bound in leather and brass with a gilded pattern, Christ on the crucifix and the monogram IHS on the cover. There are 223 pages and there are approximately 30 full page color plates depicting biblical scenes and many many more smaller black and white illustrations. It is in great condition, with the brass clasps still working perfectly and only a few nicks to the leather cover. There are four pages at the beginning to put the extended family names and one factor that makes this particular Bible special and rare is that none of these are filled in, meaning that the buyer can begin a new cherished family tradition with this venerable Victorian Bible. This would make a rare wedding or christening gift indeed. This Bible came from St. John's Seminary in Waterford, Ireland.

Questions and additional picture requests welcome.
