The article focuses on the collection of Catholic books in the Douay College Museum at Saint Edmund's College in Ware, England. It notes that the Catholic books in the collection offer evidence that the printing press served as the pivot of Catholic intellectual life and facilitated the survival of the Catholic faith in the country during times of persecution. It cites that a number of Latin and some English Bibles translated at Douay remain in the collection, such as four copies of the first Edition of the Rheims New Testament.
