The Gothic version of the Gospels and the Pauline letters represents a significant source for understanding the earliest translations of the New Testament. As the oldest surviving text in a Germanic language, this work not only provides insights into linguistic development but also into the cultural and historical contexts in which this translation was created. The author, Carla Falluomini, examines the manuscript tradition and codicology to illuminate the relevance of the Gothic text for the reconstruction of the underlying Greek text. Furthermore, the history of textual criticism is addressed, leading to a new assessment of the significance of the Gothic text within the framework of current New Testament textual criticism. This scholarly book is thus an essential work for anyone interested in the philosophy and religion of the early Christian era.
