| Summary: | Cipriano de Valera, a former monk of Seville, took refuge in England in 1558. After teaching nine years in Cambridge University, he lived in London till his death c. 1600. In the Armada year he began producing Protestant literature in Spanish, much of it polemical, but including a translation of Calvin's Institutes and a revision of the Spanish Bible of 1569. These works seem to have been intended as much for use as propaganda against Spain as for the edification of his fellow exiles. Though a minor figure, he provides an interesting example of a movement often disregarded. |
