These are the books of the King James Version of the Bible along with the names and numbers given them in the Douay Rheims Bible and Latin Vulgate. This list is a complement to the list in Books of the Latin Vulgate. It is an aid to finding cross references between two longstanding standards of biblical literature.
Preliminary note Originally, when published in 1611, the King James Bible contained 80 Books, including those of the Old Testament, Apocrypha, and New Testament; in the early 1800s, the printing of the Books of the Apocrypha within the Bible became less common in England. The Catholic Bible contains 73 books; seven, called the deuterocanonical books taken from the 14 books of the Apocrypha. These seven are considered canonical by the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Oriental Orthodox Church, and the Church of the East, but not generally by other Christians. Evangelical-Lutherans and Anglicans often do include the Apocrypha as an intertestamental section between the Old Testament and New Testament; these are included in their lectionary readings.
When citing the Latin Vulgate, chapter and verse are separated with a comma, for example "Ioannem 3,16"; in English Bibles chapter and verse are separated with a colon, for example "John 3:16".
The Psalms of the two versions are numbered differently. The Vulgate follows the Septuagint numbering, while the King James Version follows the numbering of the Masoretic Text. This generally results in the Psalms of the former being one number behind the latter. See the article on Psalms for more details.
