ResumoSince the extensive work of B. B. Wiffen on Spanish Reformers about a century ago, nothing of substance seems to have been published in Britain about Cipriano de Valera, who spent the greater part of his life in England. There is no evidence that he left this country more than once after taking up residence here, and that was towards the very end of his life. His name is well-known as the first reviser of the standard Protestant version of the Bible in Spanish. It will be of interest, therefore, to British Hispanists, and to others concerned with sixteenth-century religious history, to set down the main facts about his life and to list his known works, incorporating mention of some new autograph material relating to his stay in Cambridge.
