About the Author
Casiodoro De Reina, a 16th-century Spanish theologian and scholar, is renowned for his monumental contribution to biblical translation, producing the first complete Spanish Bible from the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Born in 1520 in Seville, he fled religious persecution, eventually settling in exile where he dedicated his life to making the Scriptures accessible to Spanish-speaking believers. His work, completed in 1569, laid the foundation for the enduring Reina-Valera tradition, emphasizing fidelity to the source languages while rendering the text in elegant, reverent prose. De Reina's legacy endures through editions that continue to inspire faith and study among millions, blending scholarly rigor with spiritual devotion in a turbulent era of Reformation.
