Gothic Translation
Gothic Translation refers to the process of translating texts into the Gothic language, an extinct East Germanic language spoken by the Goths during the early centuries of the Common Era. The most notable example of Gothic translation is the Bible, specifically the Gothic Bible translated by Wulfila in the 4th century. This translation played a crucial role in preserving the Gothic language and culture.
The Gothic language is significant for linguists as it provides insights into the development of Germanic languages. Gothic translations are valuable for understanding early Christian texts and the spread of Christianity among the Goths. The study of these translations helps scholars explore the interactions between language, culture, and religion during that period.
