	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Douai
		To English Catholics, the name Douai will always be bound up with the college founded by Cardinal Allen during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, where the majority of the clergy were educated in penal times, and to which the preservation of the Catholic religion in England was largely due.
		The University of Douai may be said to date from 31 July, 1559, when Philip II of Spain (in whose dominions it was then situated) obtained a Bull from Pope Paul IV, authorizing its establishment the avowed object being the preservation of the purity of the Catholic Faith from the errors of the Reformation.
		In 1677, Douai was taken by Louis XIV, and since that date has been under French control, except for the short time that it was held by the English after the siege of the Duke of Marlborough in 1710; but it was retaken by the French the following year.

	Douai Bible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Douai Bible, also known as the Rheims-Douai Bible or Douay-Rheims Bible, is a Catholic translation of the Holy Bible from the Latin Vulgate into English.
		Regarded from the point of view of scholarship, the Rheims and Douai Bible is of no importance, but it needs mention in the history of the English Bible, because it is one of the versions of which King James' translators consulted, especially for the New Testament.
		Challoner's revisions borrowed heavily from the poetic tones and felicitous phrasings of the King James Version, (himself being a convert from Protestantism, and thus familiar with its style) whose translators had borrowed terms from the original Rheims NT of 1582.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Douay Bible
		The original Douay Version, which is the foundation on which nearly all English Catholic versions are still based, owed its existence to the religious controversies of the sixteenth century.
		The renderings of some of the texts showed evident signs of controversial bias, and it became of the first importance for the English Catholics of the day to be furnished with a translation of their own, on the accuracy of which they could depend and to which they could appeal in the course of argument.
		In the year 1578, owing to political troubles, the college was temporarily transferred from Douai (which was then in the dominions of the King of Spain) to Reims, and during its sojourn there, in 1582, the New Testament was published, and became consequently known as the "Rheims Testament".
