The Gothic Bible refers to the translation of the Bible into the Gothic language, created by the early Christian missionary Ulfilas in the 4th century. This translation is significant as it was one of the first translations of the Bible into a Germanic language, helping to spread Christianity among the Gothic tribes. The most complete version of the Gothic Bible is known as the Codex Argenteus, a beautifully illustrated manuscript that dates back to the 6th century. The text is important for linguistic studies, as it provides insights into the Gothic language and its structure, as well as the culture of the Gothic people during that time.
