Version Reina-Velera (RVR) This widely used revision of the Bible, prepared by a group of Latin-American Scholars, is a revision of the sixteen-century translation made by Casiodoro de Reina and revised by Cipriano de Valera in 1602. There have been many other revisions to the RVR including the one of 1862, 1909, and most recently, the 1995 revision. Originally translated from the Hebrew texts and the Greek manuscripts of both the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament, it maintains fidelity to these texts and to the elevated linguistic and literacy style of its original translation while evolving with the changes in Spanish language. This has made this revision a classic and most acclaimed Bible among millions of people in Spanish speaking countries around the world.
