Overview
Similarly to what happened in other countries, the translation of Josephus' Bellum Iudaicum in Spanish by Juan Martín Cordero in the 1550s and of Josephus' Antiquities by Benito Arias Montano in 1571 mark the beginning of Spanish Scholarship on the period. Besides, Arias Montano's Biblia regia (published from 1568 to 1573 in 8 vols.) was the first to include the Syriac New Testament and additional Targumic texts. An edition of Paul's epistles, with commentary, by Francisco de Ribera and José de Acosta must also be mentioned.
