"A native of Burgos educated at Louvain and Wittenberg, Francisco de Enzinas (1518-52) was a humanist scholar and Protestant convert who produced the first Spanish version of the New Testament, printed in 1543 in Antwerp. He formed a partnership with the Strassburg printer Augustin Fries to publish Spanish translations of Greek classics and the remainder of the Bible, of which he was only able to complete Psalms, Ecclesiasticus, Job, and Proverbs before his death. Baudrier VIII, 241 (not having seen or located a copy, citing Brunet supplement II, 712)" "Even before the complete edition of Castellio's Latin Bible appeared Enzinas, who had already produced a Spanish Bible [New Testament] in Antewerp (in 1543), had translated the Psalter, the Wisdom of Solomon, Jesus Sirach [present copy], and the book of Job into Spanish. All of these appeared with the false address 'En Leon, en casa de Sebastian Grypho', though they were in fact his translations from manuscript versions of Castellio's edition. Enzinas continued to work on his translations until his death on 30 December 1552. He had planned to have his Spanish Bible printed in Geneva, but this (fortunately for Calvin) never came to pass." (Gilly, Spanien und der Basler Buchdruck, pp. 342-9, 510-11.) Found in (Sebastian Castellio, 1515-1563: Humanist and Defender of Religious .By Hans R. Guggisberg, Bruce Gordon). "FRIES, Augustine: printer in Zurich and Strasburg began to print at the former place about 1540. In 1547 he printed two books in English by John Hooper [Heitz p. 39]. Soon after this he moved to Strasburg and there printed among other things several works in Spanish by Franzisco de Enzinas in 1550 and 1551 [Wiffen I pp 179 etc.]" (A Century of the English Book Trade: Short Notices of All Printers. By Edward Gordon Duff). HBS 67900. $8,500.…
