Casiodoro de Reina

关于作者

Casiodoro de Reina was a prominent Spanish theologian and translator, best known for his work on the Bible. Born in Seville in the early 16th century, he became a significant figure in the Protestant Reformation, particularly among Spanish-speaking Christians. Reina's most notable achievement is the translation of the Bible into Spanish, known as the 'Biblia del Oso,' which he published in 1569. This translation was groundbreaking as it made the scriptures accessible to a wider audience, contributing to the spread of Reformation ideas in the Spanish-speaking world.

Throughout his life, Reina faced significant challenges due to his Protestant beliefs, leading to his exile from Spain. Despite this, he continued his work in various European cities, engaging with other reformers and expanding the reach of his translations. His efforts not only influenced religious thought but also laid the groundwork for subsequent Spanish Bible translations, including the widely used Reina-Valera version. His legacy lives on through his contributions to biblical scholarship and the impact of his translation on Spanish-speaking Protestant communities.
