   "The first Spanish version of the entire Bible was executed by Cassiodore de Reyna, a Spaniard,
who, after devoting twelve years to the preparation of the work, published an edition at Basle in 1569,
with the assistance of several ministers of that city.   De Reyna is believed to have been a Protestant,

although several expressions in his preface, introduced doubtless with a view to conciliate the Catholics,
might lead us to a contrary supposition.   He translated chiefly from the Latin version of Pagninus,
which he avowedly preferred to all other versions.   He also referred continually to the original texts,
and derived some aid from the Judeo-Spanish version printed at Ferrara.   A separate edition of the New
Testament, with a few slight alterations, was published in 1596, by Cyprian de Valera; and, in 1602,
a thorough revision of De Reyna's entire version was printed at Amsterdam.   This revision was effected
by means of a diligent comparison of the Spanish version with the original texts, and with other
translations, particularly with the French version of Geneva.   De Valera was fifty years of age when he
commenced this revision, and he completed it in his seventieth year: he was zealously attached to the
principles of the Reformation, and his corrections of De Reyna's text, though not very considerable,
add greatly to the accuracy and value of the translation.   He resided many years in England, and
graduated at both the universities.   His New Testament was reprinted in the Nuremberg Polyglot in
1599, and another edition appeared at Amsterdam, in 1625.

   In the meantime the original edition of De Reyna's version without the corrections of De Valera
was re-issued at Frankfort, with a new titlepage, bearing the date 1622.   Another new and revised
edition of De Reyna's New Testament was given by Don Sebastian de la Enzina, at Amsterdam,
in 1708."
