Gothic...
"The Goths, an Eastern Germanic people, first enter
history in the
3rd century A.D., when they were settled north of the Black
Sea. They soon split into the Ostrogoths (East Goths) and Visi-
goths (West Goths).
The Ostrogoths became allies of the Eastern Roman
Empire and,
prompted by Constantinople, conquered Italy and set up their
capital at Ravenna. During the 6th century their kingdom was
overthrown, and the Ostrogoths gradually lost tneir identity.
The Visigoths, who had preceded their Gothic
kinsmen into
eastern Europe, settled in Moesia and Dacia during the 4th cen-
tury. Here they encountered Christianity as a result of the mis-
sionary work and Gothic Bible translation of Ulfilas.
Late in the
same century they began their rampaging migration across
southern Europe. At the time they conquered (but only briefly
held) Italy, southern Gaul, and Spain.
Their capital was estab-
lished at Toledo, and the Visigoths quietly assimilated the
developing Spanish culture and
language.
Now extinct, Gothic is placed in a East Germanic language
group, with its ‘dead’ sister tongues: Vandalic (the tongue of
another migratory people, who set up a powerful kingdom in
north Africa during the 5th century), and Burgundian (the
language of an East Germanic tribe that settled in Burgundy and
later merged with the Franks).
It is interesting that this Gothic
civilization, with its distinct language, did not leave a trace of
influence on the subsequent Germanic culture.
Ulfilas, or Wulfila
(d. 383?) translated the Bible into (Visi)Gothic
‘with the exception of the Books of
Kings which he omitted
because they are a mere narrative of military exploits and the
Gothic tribes were especially fond of war’. Numerous fragments
of 5th- and 6th-century manuscripts preserve portions of this
early translation. Most noteworthy is the magnificent Codex
Argenteus, written in silver and gold on purple parchment. It is
now in Uppsala in the University Library. Although there is no
scholarly consensus on the derivation of the characters, it seems
that about 20 were borrowed from Greek
uncial script, five from
the Latin alphabet, and two were invented
signs, possibly in-
spired by runes. The Gothic, or ‘black letter’, type used
in
printing has no connection with Ulfilas’ alphabet, which, to
avoid confusion, is termed Moeso-Gothic. This Moeso-Gothic
character is used for some of the earlier printings." --1000 Tongues,
