"George Leo Haydock (1774 - 1849) was a priest, pastor and Bible scholar from an ancient English Catholic Recusant family. His edition of the Douay Bible with extended commentary, originally published in 1811, became the most popular English Catholic Bible of the 19th century on both sides of the Atlantic. It remains in print and is still regarded for its apologetic value."

This bible has been beautifully rebound retaining the original cover and spine skins. Endpapers have been replaced and there are no inscriptions. The rebind has been executed with precision and the text block is firm and tight with no loose pages. Pages are overwhelmingly clean with some age toning present. There are full page 42 plates present along with 2 maps, the vignette + frontis. Several of the plates have "ink transferred" to the tissue papers resulting in stunning impressions of the original plate. A stunning bible that presents exceptionally well and is a delight to peruse. Very good condition overall. Please study photos to further understand condition.
