In general, English

translations of the lev Testmnent are used and rererred to

only tor the sake o f illustrating the general context

ot a word under discussion. In a final poatacript on the Gothic text, we might note tha: 1n the cases ot several worda (e.g. , ty;htua,

-

us-skapJan), former scholar• have wondered whether perhaps th. wording or spelling had become CQrrupt.

It

is ahovn here that such places are not at all corrupt, but that such wonderir..ga are dl,le me1·ely to our inability to ueo a 11 ttle llllagination in seeking the moaning or term o.t 'the :words or word involved.

In conclusion, I would 11.ico to thank Professor J-e•

w.

Marchand tor having given me the in!t!al stiJnulus

tor this study.

It waa he who .t1rat pointed out to mo

42

that there vaa a tr-endoua lack of knovledge 1n the area or Gothic aeantica, and who give me the encourag-ent to •\>&l'lt upon a v1rtuall7 uncharted sea.

Above all, I 11N1t expreaa my 1>4J:"lllanent 1ndebtedneaa and grat1tude to v.1 Doktorvater, Proteuor Robert Allen Povkea or lew YorK Un1vera t7, under vboae k1ndl7 tutelau I vu introduced to the arcana or Germanic philology 1n tbe ti:rat place.

Let 1t be known that h1a

teaching baa JJnpartad vaatl7 more than knowledge to h1a a'fbdenta:

othera, ha reduced their language to a written fo'Z'91, and tranalateJ 1nto their YUlgar ~ngue all the book•

ot Holy Scripture, with the exception or the Book ot linga, which he oaitted , because they are a mere narrative of military eitploits, and ihe Gothic tribea were especially fond of war, and were in more need

ot restraints t o check their military passion.a than ot spurs to urge them on to deeds ot war .

But those

books have the greatest 1nt'luence 1n exciting the l'llinda ot readera, inaa!!:Uch as tbeJ are regarded with great veneration, and are adapted to lead the hearta

ot believera to .the worship of God.

Thia lllUltitude of

converts were located by the e111peror 1n the ditf erent parts or Moesia, as he thought beat, and he held liultila himself in such hign honor, tb.at he would often speak of h!m in conversation as the Moses of his day.

Philoatorgius is loud in his praises ot

this Wulfila;

and asserts that both he and the Gotha

who were under bis spiritual rule, were followers ot

his own heretical opinions.
