    • I finished the bible, but the commentaries were a bit modernist, so ask for a good trad bible commentary. I want to read Leonardo Castellani's Apocalypse, but I don't know good comments for the rest of the bible.

    • The Haydock Bible Commentary by Father George Leo Haydock, published in 1859.  Here is a link to an online version which is "interlinear" with the Douay-Rheims:  https://haydockcommentary.com/

    It is available in hardcopy.  The commentary may be available as a "stand alone reference" but I've only seen it together with the Douay-Rheims text.

    Here is a short bio of Father Haydock from the Catholic Encyclopedia:
    https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07160a.htm

    There is a lengthier bio at Wikipedia

    • I think the best is by Cornelius a Lapide, but as far as I know only the Gospels are translated into English.

    Catena Aurea is also good for Gospels. Unfortunately I don't know any good traditional commentaries on the other biblical texts.

    I hold it true, whate'er befall;
    I feel it, when I sorrow most;
    'Tis better to have loved and lost
    Than never to have loved at all.
