Yom Tob Athias
Yom Tob Athias, also known as Jeronimo de Vargas, a typographer of Sephardic origin, settled in Ferrara. There, he printed the first full Spanish translation of the siddur (daily prayers; 1552), a translation that was frequently reprinted over coming centuries. Together with another former New Christian of Portuguese origin, Abraham ben Samuel Usque (Duarte Pinel), he printed the first Spanish translation of the Hebrew Bible, which came to be known as the Ferrara Bible (1553).
