[ My. Humberto Gómez
about.htm ]
"In the late 1990s, Humberto Gomez, a Mexican my.
and
church planter, began to work on restoring a Received Text
version of the Reina-Valera. He used the Received Text and
checked every translation with the time-honored King James
Bible.
Rather than having a translation committee, he invited input
from everyone. He received input from hundreds of sources
and he served as the editor.
In 2004, the Reina-Valera Gomez was released. The
purification process continues as Dr. Gomez welcomes input
from everyone.
Several William Carey Bible Society board members were
involved in encouraging this process.

Spanish...
"Spanish is spoken by about 150 million people, of
whom only
some 15 per cent live in Spain. Spread by the conquistadors and
the administrators and priests who followed them,
Spanish came
into use throughout Central and South America and in much of
the Caribbean area as well. It is now the official language of all
Latin America except Brazil, Guyana,
and the territories of
Surinam, British Honduras, and French Guiana. Large Spanish-
speaking communities also live in
Morocco, Spanish possessions
in the eastern Atlantic and Africa, the
Philippines, and the United
States. In many of these countries, however, Spanish is not the
only language in vernacular use. In Spain more than seven and a
half million people speak Catalan, Galician, and
Basque. In all
the Central and South American nations indigenous languages
are still spoken to a greater or lesser extent. Thus more than
half
the inhabitants of Bolivia, Guatemala,
Paraguay, and Peru
speak native Indian languages, although Spanish is often their
acquired second language. A Spanish Creole, known as
Papia-
mento (q.v.) is spoken on Curaçao. Moreover, an
estimated
100,000 descendants of Sephardic Jews, expelled from Spain in
1492, still speak Spanish, which they write in
Hebrew character.
(See Spanish: Judaeo).
Spanish is a Romance language, developed from the vernacular
Latin that replaced the unrecorded Celt-
Iberian tongues
originally spoken in the Iberian Peninsula. The Latin of Roman
Spain [chang]ed into three distinct, but closely related, languages:
Catalan,
Galician, and Castilian, the
last of which is what is now
known as Spanish. Some dialectal differences can be noted in the
usages of Andalusia, Asturias, Leon, Navarre-
Aragon, and the
Standard Castilian of Madrid, which is the basis of literary
Spanish. Dialectal differences can also be noted in New World
Spanish, primarily in pronunciation and vocabulary.
The first translation of the Scriptures in Spain was in Arabic, not
Spanish. In fact, beginning with the 13th-century decree of King
John I of Aragon, which forbade both clergy and laity to own a
copy of the Old Testament in the vernacular, we find a 600-year
history of vigorous Spanish opposition to the Bible in Spanish.
Unlike France and Italy, Spain’s Latin
and Roman Catholic
sisterlands, Spain did not become a Reformation battlefield in
which the ‘War of the Word’ was waged, with exchanges of
protestant Bibles and Catholic rebuttal versions.
Not until 1793
was a complete [b]ible in Spanish printed on Spanish
soil. That
was an unwieldly 10-volume set (the second edition had 19
volumes), hardly calculated to give the Spanish man-in-the-
street the Bible-reading habit.
However, since the middle of the 16th century the Bible in
Castilian had been published in foreign lands. Men of Spanish
birth, studying abroad, or compelled to live in exile because of
their adherence to faiths denounced by the Inquisition [RCC], labored
and suffered to give Spain the Scriptures in the vernacular.
Others risked, and often lost, their lives in smuggling forbidden
Bibles into Spain. History records the feat of a
certain Julian
Hernandez, who arrived in Seville in 1557 with two great casks
filled with copies of J. Perez’s translation of the New Testament
and Psalms. Unfortunately, his activities were detected and
death was the penalty exacted of him, as for all those who dared
import these Bibles in Spanish.
The Tyndale of the Spanish Bible was a young Spaniard,
who,
in the fashion of the time, translated his name, de Enzinas
(‘Oak Tree’) into Greek as ‘Dryander’. While a
student at
Wittenberg, living at the home of his teacher, Melanchthon, he
prepared the first translation of the Bible into the Spanish
tongue. He had the book printed in Antwerp in 1543, but both
he and it suffered a strange fate. Charles V was at
that time
Emperor of the Low Countries and of most of the rest of Europe,
and his native Spain. Desirous of having the distinguished
patronage of Charles, the last of the emperors to be crowned by
the Pope, Enzinas dedicated his book to him and
removed from
it whatever he thought might offend. Unfortunately, he failed
to alter certain sentences which he had had printed in capital
letters because of their importance to Christian doctrine as he
had learned in Wittenberg to construe it. Though received by
the Emperor at Brussels in a friendly way, Enzinas was shortly
thereafter seized and cast into prison, for the Emperor’s con-
fessor had examined the book and denounced it as heretical.
More fortunate than Tyndale,
Enzinas managed to escape to
Antwerp. However, as the Testament was suppressed by
imperial order, few copies survived. Thus, the Perez New
Testament, published 13 years later at Geneva, and the de
Reina
Bible of 1569 (the first complete Spanish Bible) , serve as the
basis of later revisions of the Spanish version.
The violent persecutions that drove from Spain great numbers
of her most learned and prosperous citizens, the Jews, are also
responsible in part for the early appearance of the Spanish Old
Testament. The ‘Ferrara Bible’, the first Old Testament
ever
printed in the Spanish language, was prepared for those exiled
Spanish Jews, under the patronage of the Duke of Ferrara. This
version is still in use by the descendants of those who fled from
the Spain of Ferdinand and Isabella more than four
and a half
centuries ago.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, a striking contrast to
this early opposition to common language Scriptures has been in
evidence in Spain." --1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only]

"Spain was furnished at a very early
period with versions of the Scriptures in the vernacular
tongue; but little is known concerning these translations except that some of them are attributed to
the Albigenses, who had found
their way into Spain. Several Spanish MSS. are extant, but in
many
instances no date is affixed to them, and they seem to possess comparatively
little interest."--1860 S. Bagster [Info only]

"The first version printed in the pure Castilian
idiom was a translation of the New Testament
from the original Greek, published at Antwerp in 1543. Enzina, the
translator of this work, was by
birth a Spaniard, but he had spent part of his life in Germany, in company
with Melanchthon, and had
embraced the principles of the Reformation.
He dedicated his version to Charles V.; and, on its
completion, presented it to that monarch. He was, in consequence,
thrown into prison at Brussels,
whence, however, he effected his escape in 1545, and what afterwards befell
him is totally unknown.
His translation adheres with tolerable fidelity to the Greek text, and it is
evident that in many instances
he consulted and followed
Erasmus."--1860
