The Codex Argenteus is a 6th-century manuscript that contains the Gospels in the Gothic language. It is notable for its silver and gold ink on purple parchment, making it one of the most luxurious manuscripts of its time. The text is attributed to the Gothic bishop Ulfilas, who translated the Bible into Gothic to aid in the Christianization of the Goths. This codex is considered a vital historical document, as it provides insight into the early Gothic language and culture. Currently, it is housed in the Uppsala University Library in Sweden, where it is preserved as a significant artifact of early Christian literature.
