Biblical texts

The translation of the Old Testament, as expressly declared Casodoro de Reina in his "warning of the interpreter of the sacred books to the reader", was based on the Hebrew Masoretic text (Bomberg edition, 1525). As he considered that the Latin vulgate had already fulfilled its role and contained errors and changes, preferred to use as a secondary source the Latin translation of Pagnino (veteris et novi testamenti nova translatio, 1528), because “to the vote of all the learned in the hebraic language it is taken by the purest that there is so far”, correcting the masoretic version every time the old In the New Testament. The Ferrara Biblia (Abraham Usque and Yom-Tob Athias, 1553), translation of Hebrew to JudeoEspañol used by Sephardic Jews, which Reina considered "work of the greatest esteem", "for giving the natural and first significance of the Hebrew words and the differences of the times of the verbs" was always always.

For the translation of the New Testament, Reina was based on the textus receptus (Erasmus 1516, Stephanus, 1550), in the Complutense polyglot and on the best Greek manuscripts that were known at that time. Apparently, he had in sight the versions of the New Testament of Juan Pérez de Pineda of 1556, Francisco de Enzinas de 1543 and translations of Juan de Valdés.
