The Gothic Version of the Gospels: A Study of Its Style and Textual History

The writer’s aim in the present work has been, first, to essay a general stylistic appreciation of the Gothic renderings of Greek words, and to establish, on the internal evidence afforded by the renderings of the Codex Argenteus, the methods adopted by the translator or translators of the original Version. This has been followed by a scrutiny of all passages where the Gothic rendering seems to depart from the basic norm, and of every rendering that varies from the usual rendering of the same Greek word or sense, or which is in any other way remarkable.
