Publisher's Synopsis
The First Germanic Bible is a historical work that was originally published in 1891. The book is a translation of the Bible from Greek into the Gothic language by Wulfila, a bishop of the Goths, in the fourth century. It is considered to be the first known translation of the Bible into a Germanic language. The Gothic language was spoken by the Goths, a Germanic people who lived in Eastern Europe during the time of the Roman Empire. The book includes both the Old and New Testaments and provides insight into the religious beliefs and practices of the Goths. The translation was significant because it allowed the Goths to access the Bible in their own language, rather than having to rely on translations in Latin or Greek. The First Germanic Bible is an important historical document that provides valuable insight into the development of Christianity in Europe.And The Other Remains Of The Gothic Language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
