Reina-valera
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 Basilea, Sweden . Its translator was Casiodoro de Reina, a Catholic.
This Bible, as central to the perception of the scriptures in Spanish as the King James Version in English, has undergone numerous revisions, the first of which took place in 1602 under the editorial eye of Cipriano de Valera. This edition was printed in Amsterdam. Next was the revision of 1862, followed by revisions in 1905, 1960, and 1995.
The same movement which promotes the use of the King James Bible in English over all other editions promotes the use of the Reina-Valera with respect to Spanish.
