Francisco de Enzinas

Francisco de Enzinas (1518–1552) was a Spanish humanist and Protestant reformer, the first to translate the New Testament from Greek into Spanish. The son of a Burgos wool merchant, he studied at Louvain and at Wittenberg under Melanchthon.

His Spanish New Testament was printed at Antwerp in 1543, and he presented a copy to Emperor Charles V in Brussels. Weeks later the Inquisition arrested him and ordered almost the entire edition burned. He escaped in 1545 and fled to Wittenberg, later taught Greek in England, and died at Strasbourg in 1552.
