In their official account, the Dominicans stated that the purpose of the debate was ‘ not in order that the faith should be put into dispute as if it were a matter of doubt, but in order to destroy the errors of the Jews and remove the confident faith of many Jews. ’
Oma ametlikus aruandes väitsid dominiiklased, et väitluse eesmärk pole ’ mitte usku kahtluse alla seada, otsekui oleks selles midagi küsitavat, vaid hävitada juutide valed ja teha lõpp paljude juutide enesekindlale usule ’.
