   Holy Bible Faithfully Translated into English out of the authentical Latin, diligently conferred with the Hebrew Greek, & other Editions in Divers Languages     : w     ith Arguments of the Books and Chapters, Annotations, Tables, & other helps, for better understanding of the text: for discovery of Corruptions in some late translations: and for clearing Controversies in Religion.   
   The purpose of the version, both the text and notes, was to uphold Catholic tradition in the face of the Protestant Reformation which up until the time of its publication had     dominated Elizabethan religion and academic debate. As such it was an effort by English Catholics to support the Counter-Reformation. The New Testament was reprinted in 1600, 1621 and 1633. The Old Testament volumes were reprinted in 1635 but neither thereafter for another hundred years. In 1589, William Fulke collated the complete Rheims text and notes in parallel columns with those of the Bishops' Bible. This work sold widely in England, being re-issued in three further editions to 1633. It was predominantly through Fulke's editions that the Rheims New Testament came to exercise a significant influence on the development of 17th-century English.
