I am from India. I was so excited to see that this is going to be reviewed by my favourite channel on TH-cam. I pre-ordered this from Church Latin. Derek was absolutely fantastic and very helpful. The Bible is still on the way but it should reach me in a couple of days. Thanks for this sneak peek. I own the hardcover version also. Highly recommended. Top class quality.
I had put this in my cart but decided I could wait one more day for your video before pushing the button. Thank you for encouraging my (very occasional) patience.
This is a beautiful new edition of this book! I originally bought the softcover edition for $65 less. As a Lutheran, Latin is a historically important ecclesiastical language in our theological tradition.
@@ConvincedCatholicism Good question! It continued in use for a couple centuries in the academy. In church services, at first only a little vernacular was added; but eventually the Latin was completely eliminated, except in college chapels. Most of our greatest theologians wrote in Latin. And to this day, there's many Latin words that are still used in liturgical contexts.
Finally. Im looking for a Vulgate myself. But im not in a hurry to spend yet. Hopefully i can see one locally. Edit: Found it online locally for around 80 USD. But after watching the review. It might be a bit too early for me. I want something with side by side english translation.
@ConvincedCatholicism thank you. in your opinion as a person acquainted with literature would you have a suggestion? I bet you know a lot better than me (I don't know anything about it). I could ask another question I suppose then, if you don't mind, if the previous question can't be answered. Do you know the best english translation of the Latin vulgate? Thanks!
@@King-uj1lh I own a copy of the hardback 3 volume Douay Rheims before they stopped printing them (they only print them in soft cover now) and no, it doesn't have the same artwork. However it is well worth your time if you can't read Latin because it's very nearly a one to one translation of the Latin. The English characters are a little different than what you will be used to, though. For example, a "W" will be "VV" or an "s" will almost be an "f" but without the horizontal line. Sometimes words will be spelled like " vpo' ", which is "upon", the "v" is a "u" and the " ' " at the end is an "n". English hadn't been standardized yet, but it's nothing you can't figure out, you just have to be very diligent in your read.
You made my heart bleed when you started pulling on the twine there, damaging the book inside. :( Also sad to see that the publisher links to "Libros Guadalupe", which promotes Lefebvrist works.
@@ConvincedCatholicism You can see indents on the spine: got dug in when you pulled on the twine. But it is thankfully minimal. As for the SSPX: no mission, and thus ought to be ignored.
@@matthaeusprime6343 yes they do, SSPXers have yet to refute their arguments. I mean how do you even respond to the fact that Pope Pius VI explicitly stated that consecrations like Lefebvre’s are schismatic, you have to throw out traditional catholic ecclesiology to support the SSPX frankly.
I am the wrong person to ask. I was blessed with 20/20 vision. However, I can say that the spacing between letters is good but the font is small and bleed through is not the best
@@ConvincedCatholicism I don’t know why someone cannot make a high quality print with new type and larger print and better paper to enhance readability. I guess i will continue to wait.
Lol. Yes I do own a knife… I was just already committed to my own stupidity. Also, It does sound like that but it was the paper brushing across the desk
Sorry to sound so critical and uncharitable. I take your point that it’s an unboxing video. It's just that TH-cam is full of ill-prepared videos. This is a general comment rather than a criticism of you. I have the hardback edition of the Bible you unboxed and was interested to see the new edition. It looked like the spine is creasing, perhaps because the binding is too tight. Your video persuaded me against buying the new edition. I'm grateful to you for this service. @ConvincedCatholicism
I have since learned that there is an English translation of the preface in the back of the book

Stunning presentation of the Vulgate! I'm in the market for a Vulgate so I'll definitely consider this one.
Hope you enjoy it if you get it!

@@ConvincedCatholicism I wish the paper were a bit thicker.
Extremely beautiful book. Excellent and thoughtful review as usual. Thanks!
Just got this when it was first announced. SO happy with it and glad that this is my copy of the latin vulgate now
Wow, beautiful book. Thanks for the review. I wish the font size were larger though.
I think it being facsimile there is not much they could do without distorting

When did Lutherans switch to vernacular? I can’t remember correctly but I know Martin Luther either wanted to keep Latin or the lay faithful did

Enjoying your content, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I wish they made a book with the same artwork but Douay Rheims English!
I will be reviewing more DRs in the future. I wish there were too
Douay-Rheims & Clementina Vulgata by Baronius Press
i wonder if it could be done with AI. i've literally had this same thought before about this facsimile
I think I'm going to get this. It looks a bit more manageable than my Baronius.
Cool!
This a oportunity to learn latin
Is there a section for family history/births/deaths/marriages etc?
Sorry for the delayed response but no
That is one handsome Bible.
Check out Foxes Book of Martyrs. Great revelation of history.
@@privatepilot4064 I will definitely do some research

That is totally fair
Beautiful
Do you know the best English translation of the Septuagint? Thanks
I am really not sure what that would be; its very subjective.
@ConvincedCatholicism thank you. in your opinion as a person acquainted with literature would you have a suggestion? I bet you know a lot better than me (I don't know anything about it).

@@prayunceasingly2029 I would guess the Lexham or the NETS
Wish it had gold pages
Look for the Douay-Rheims & Clementina Vulgata edition by Baronius Press.
Could have cut the twine?
@@1234vws I should have but at that point I was committed to my own foolishness
Is it complete in latin or have some things in english?
This is totally in Latin
@@ConvincedCatholicism Thanks

A direct link is now the norm today...just saying

Would they send me one if I asked?
Probably not. They sent it to me to essentially advertise. They, being a small business probably have a small profit margin
of course they will. you have only to ask and send $100.
You need to read to build vocabulary.....yes, but you need some vocabulary in order to read.

If only people who review on TH-cam knew something about what they're reviewing rather than bumbling along. Still, it's good to see the pictures.
@@edwardbell9795 this is an unboxing. How am I supposed to study the book? Why are you watching reviews of a book you purportedly already know about
