I have a copy that I bought off the shelf in a Catholic bookstore. It's entitled: The Holy Bible Douay Rheims Version Revised by Bishop Richard Challoner A.D. 1749-1752. The Approbation by James Cardinal Gibbons (Archbishop of Baltimore, 1899) calls it the Catholic Bible, which is an accurate reprint of the Rheims and Douay edition with Dr. Challoner's Notes. Let's see, further notes say that this Bible was photographically reproduced from the 1899 edition of the John Murphy Company, Baltimore, Maryland....first printed by TAN Books and Publishers in 1971.
