Sans Scripture, Evolution?

[Tomk80]

Repeating what has been said many times already: Before the invention of the printing press, books where rare and incredibly expensive. Only rich churches and nobility could afford to have any. As for AV330, yes, a few copies where made. The most famous is the Codex Argenteus, written some 200 years after Wulfilas original translation. That, by the way, is a pretty bad translation from the greek original, and would have sounded very strange to a Gothic speaker of the day - maybe something like KJV does to us today.

Interesting, I thought the Codex was the only Gothic copy ever made.

By the way, the Wycliffe version was of equally shoddy translation. You should read a bit, it's really funny. It's what you'd get if you translate the vulgate bible using babelfish, but then worse. Babelfish at least adheres to some english grammatical rules.
