The Septuagint with Apocrypha: Greek and English
Sir Lancelot C.L. Brenton
Hendrickson Publishers, Peabody, Massachusetts
Hardcover (beautifully bound), 1851/ 1130 pages + 248 pages Appendix (Apocrypha), unmarked copy, slightly dusty on top page edges
There are not many sources for the Greek version of the Bible, known as the Septuagint, used by Christ, His Apostles, and St. Jerome in his Vulgate Latin translation, which is the official Bible of the Catholic Church. The English translation was done by Brenton in the second half of the 19th century in the idiom of the Douay-Rheims/King James Versions, thus with no "modernizing" corruptions. Each page includes the Greek in larger type, and the English version in smaller type in the margin. There is an introduction to the Old Testament and to the Apocrypha, called by Catholic the Deuterocanon (Second Canon), which was suppressed by Martin Luther, but is used in the Traditional Latin Mass.

This three-volume set contains the official Latin text to be used in the traditional administration of the Sacraments, Blessings, and other rites in the traditional Rituale Romanum (Roman Ritual), with an unofficial English translation on the opposite pages.

Georg Autenreith (trans. by Robert P. Keep, rev. by Isaac Flagg

Illustrated, new edition 1958/1961, 297 pages, hardcover, excellent condition
Ancient Greek works inspired the most important Saints of the Church, starting with St. Paul the Apostle and including St. Augustine of Hippo, St. Thomas Aquinas, and too many others to name. Aristotle is Aquinas's "The Philosopher," on whom Catholic theology is based. Aristotle's Rhetoric influenced St. Paul in the writing of his fourteen Epistles in the New Testament. Homer's Iliad and Odyssey inspired the Greeks, the Romans, the Roman Catholic Church, and all those up to the present day. There are allusions to it in the New Testament.
