The Reina-Valera, published in 1569 and nicknamed the Bible of the Bear, was the first complete edition of the Bible in the Spanish language, published in Basel, Switzerland. The facsimile reproduction of this historic text was published by Bible Society (1970 ISBN 84-8083-073-5). Its principal translator was Casiodoro de Reina, an Independent Evangelical[1] but a manuscript found at the Bodleian Library gives further evidence of the fact that the Spanish Bible was a community project[2].
