Cipriano de Valera
Cipriano de Valera (* 1532 in the municipality Fregenal de la Sierra, Badajoz, † in London 1602) was a Spanish humanist and Calvinist Protestant who revised the Spanish translation of the Bible from Casiodoro de Reina and re- issued.
Life
He was, as well Casiodoro de Reina, a monk of the Jerónimos Monastery of San Isidoro del Campo outside Seville ( Monasterio de San Isidoro del Campo jerónimo de Sevilla). Just as Casiodoro de Reina 1557 he had to flee. He fled to Geneva, and went in 1558, when the reign of Queen Elizabeth I began, as de Reina also to England. There he became a professor at the universities of Cambridge and Oxford. From 1582 he began a revision of the Spanish Bible of Casiodoro de Reina.
1597 came out a Spanish edition of Calvin's Institutio Christianae Religionis. 1602 de Valera revision of the Bible was printed in Amsterdam. Printing was done after the death Casiodoro de Reinas, who had died in 1594. In the 1602er revision as the Apocrypha in the King James Bible in a section between the Old and New Testaments have been moved. Since this revision, the Bible was named Reina - Valera, which was not modified after further revisions.
Cipriano de Valera died in London in 1602, one year before the death of Elizabeth I, and thus before the end of the Elizabethan age.
