The Spanish Bible most frequently used in Hispanic churches, the Reina-Valera version, owes its name to two 16th century Spanish Reformers, Cassiodoro de Reina and Cipriano de Valera. The dream of printing the entire Bible into Spanish became a reality in 1569 when Cassiodoro de Reina, under threat of death, published The Bible of The Bear in London, England. Cassiodoro de Reina was one of a group of twelve monks from the Monastery of San Isiodoro del Campo, near Seville, Spain. These Spanish Monks were profoundly influenced by the works of Martin Luther and The Reformation. Also from the San Isiodoro Monastery came the editor and reviser of Reinas Bear Bible, Cipriano de Valera. This revision, published in 1602 in Amsterdam, has been called the King James Version of the Spanish Speaking world. The next major revision of the Reina- Valera Bible occurred in 1865 by the American Bible Society by scholars Angel Mora and H.B. Pratt. This version, also line with the King James Version, maintains the original linguistic beauty first presented in 1602. It does not clear nor add a new to the original texts, maintaining the most difficult Hebrew isms (phrases coined by Jews, whose meanings do not attract to themselves).« less
