In his prologue to the Polyglot Bible, Cisneros left no doubt as to his opinion. “ We have placed the Latin translation of the blessed Jerome between that of the Synagogue [the Hebrew text] and that of the Oriental Church [the Greek text], just as the thieves were hung, one on each side of Jesus, who represents the Roman, or Latin, Church. ”
Complutensian Polyglot’i eessõnas ütleb ta selgelt välja oma arvamuse: „Me oleme pannud õnnistatud Hieronymuse ladinakeelse tõlke sünagoogi [heebreakeelse teksti] ja idakiriku [kreekakeelse teksti] vahele, nagu ka kurjategijad löödi kummalegi poole Jeesust, kes kujutab rooma ehk ladina kirikut. ”
