Notes: Earliest edition of the complete Bible in Spanish, known as the "Bible of the Bear" on account of the printer's mark on the title page, which was the device of Samuel Apiarinus. Although Thomas Guarin is responsible for the greatest part, Apiarinus no doubt had a part in its production.

Translated by Cassiodoro de Reina, whose version of the O.T. is based on the Hebrew, following mainly the Latin translation of St. Pagninus and using the Ferrara version along with other translations and commentaries. His version of the N.T. is based on the Greek, with references to other versions.
