EDITORS COMMENTS
The Biblia Políotona Complutense, or the Complutensian Polyglot Bible, is a remarkable work of scholarly achievement and religious significance, showcased in this beautiful print from the archives of the Segovia Cathedral. Sponsored by the influential Cardinal Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros, this Bible was directed by Diego López de Zúñiga and published in Alcalá de Henares in 1514. The Bible's unique feature lies in its inclusion of texts in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, with some parts also in Aramaic. Cardinal Cisneros, a prominent figure during the Spanish Renaissance, sought to create a Bible that would facilitate a deeper understanding of the sacred texts by providing access to the original languages. The Complutensian Polyglot Bible was a groundbreaking achievement in biblical scholarship, as it brought together the efforts of numerous scholars and translators from across Europe. The first page of this impressive work is displayed in the print, featuring the coat of arms of Cardinal Cisneros. The intricate design of the coat of arms reflects the grandeur and prestige of the project, which was a testament to the Cardinal's vision and dedication to advancing knowledge and faith. The Complutensian Polyglot Bible remains an enduring symbol of the intellectual and religious vibrancy of Spain during the Renaissance era.
