Spanish BIBLES. The earliest Spanish Bible of which we have any account is one printed at Valencia in 1478. The Epistles and Gospels were published in that language by Ambrose de Montesin in 1512; the whole Bible by Cassiodore de Reyna, a Calvinist, in 1569; and the New Testament, dedicated to the emperor Charles V. by Francis Eazinas, otherwise called Driander, in 1543. The first Bible which was published in Spanish for the use of the Jews was that printed at Ferrara in 1553, in Gothic characters, and dedicated to Hercules d'Este, duke of Ferrara. This version is very ancient, and was probably in use among the Jews of Spain before Ferdinand and Isabella expelled the unfortunate Israelites in 1492.
