[BIBLE -- Spanish]. La Biblia, que es, los sacros libros del vieio y nuevo testamento. [Basel: S. Apiarius for T. Guarinus], 1569.
'The earliest edition of the complete Bible in Spanish' (Darlow and Moule). The translator, Cassiodoro de Reina (c.1520-1594), was a monk at the monastery of San Isodoro del Campo who was denounced as a heretic after converting to protestantism. He escaped from Spain with his parents around the year 1557 and began his translation soon after leaving. His version of the Old Testament is based on the Hebrew, mostly following the Latin translation of Sanctes Pagninus, as well as the Ferrara version. He based his translation of the New Testament on the Greek after the source he expected to use, which was to have been printed in Paris in 1567, was suppressed. Printing of de Reina's Bible began at Basel towards the end of 1568 and was completed in September 1569. As with many copies, the present is found without the supplemental section 'Annotationes' at end. Adams B1206; Darlow and Moule 8472; Palau 28941.
Quarto (250 x 175mm). Roman and Hebrew types on title conforming to Darlow and Moule's variant A with typographical ornament, text printed in double columns. Title-page with bear vignette of Samuel Apiarius (Biener) and typographical ornament at head, two large woodcut illustrations in the preface, numerous woodcut initials (lacking blank after title, final blank and the three leaves of 'Annotationes' at end, tiny marginal wormhole from title through to +5 and from gathering p to end, slightly larger worming from q6 to end affecting several letters, tiny marginal nick to +3, very small wax? spot obscuring a couple of words on h7 in Apostles, occasional insignificant marking). Contemporary vellum (lacking ties, upper joint splitting, but holding firm, light soiling, extremities rubbed). Provenance: Rantzau family (Schloss Breitenburg library stamps and markings on title)
