The Bible in English: A Brief Synopsis [Continued]
L. 1. The first Roman Catholic translations of the Bible into English were made by teachers at
the English College in Douai (in present day) France.
2. The New Testament translation was published in Rheims (France) in the year 1582;
the Old Testament translation was published (in two parts) in 1608 and 1610.
3. These translations were revised under the auspices of Richard Challoner, Bishop of Debra
(1691-1781) with substantial use of the King James Version; these revised translations
were published in 1749, 1750, and 1752.
4. The Challoner revision of the Douay-Rheims Bible is still used by many (traditional)
English-speaking Catholics to this day.
M. 1. The first complete edition of the Bible in (North) America was published in 1782.

Revised Version, Standard American Version — in 1901.
O. 1. The Revised Standard Version (RSV) was first published in 1946 (New Testament), 1952
(Old Testament), and 1957 (Apocrypha) at a modern English translation for Protestants.

It has been republished as the RSV Second Catholic Edition (RSV-2CE) in 2006.

published since the 1960s.
