Casiodoro de Reina or de Reyna (born 1520 in Montemolín; died 15 March 1594 in Frankfurt am Main) was a Lutherantheologian who (perhaps with several others) translated the Bible into Spanish.
Reina was born about 1520. From his youth on he studied the Bible. In 1557 he became a monk of the Hieronymite-Monastery of San Isidoro del Campo outside Sevilla (Monasterio Jerónimo de San Isidoro del Campo de Sevilla). At this time he had contact with Lutheranism and he became an adherent of the Protestant Reformation. He fled with about a dozen other monks when they came under suspicion by the Office of the Inquisition for Reformist tendencies. He first turned to John Calvin's Geneva but he did not find the atmosphere of doctrinaire rigidity of the Consistory to be salutary. In 1558, Reina declared that Geneva had become "a new Rome" and left.
Reina traveled 1559 to London where he served as pastor to Spanish Protestant refugees. However King Philip II of Spain was exerting pressure for his extradition.
Reina (born 1978 in the Bronx, New York City, New York) is a female Dance-pop singer-songwriter.
Reina (Lori Goldstein) began in the music industry as a teen and released her debut album in 1995 under the name Lori Gold "Lori Gold" in Japan only . She also recorded another album in 1995 under the name Bass Dreams "Bass Dreams." She was a backup singer for such music artists as Deborah Cox and Corina, became an overnight sensation on the Dance/Club scene when "Find Another Woman" reached #2 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 1998.
In 2004, she scored her biggest hit on the Billboard Dance Top 40, when "If I Close My Eyes" went top 5, and in 2005 scored another top 10 on the same chart with "Forgive". Both tracks were from her third album overall, but first under her new name Reina "This Is Reina". Reina is promoted by AJ Iacona.
Cipriano de Valera (C. 1532-C. 1600) was the editor of the first major revision of the Spanish Bible translation of Casiodoro de Reina. First published in 1602, this version of the Bible continues to be called the Reina-Valera, even after latter revisions. Valera was in exile in England during most of the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. He also edited an edition of Calvin's Institutes in Spanish.
Valera was born at Seville. He was a student for about six years at the University of Seville and became a monk. He was a member of the Order of the Observentine Hieronymites. He along with most of the other members of the local branch of the Hieronymites embraced the reformation and went into exile. Shortly after he fled an effigy of Valera was burned at the stake. He first went into exile in Switzerland, but chose to go to England on the coming of Elizabeth I to the throne. From 1559 he was a professor at the University of Cambridge. He was given a fellowship at Magdalen College in 1560.
