[gothic-l] Re: On the Possible Scandinavian Origin of the Goths

[andreas.schwarcz at UNIVIE.AC.AT]

Dear Dirk,
of course Kokowski has a very similar outlook to Bierbrauer, 
because he stands in the tradition of Godlowsky, Wolagiewicz and 
Kmiecinsky, on whose work on the Wielbark culture Bierbrauer's 
synopsis of Gothic history and archeology is based and all five 
were (Godlowsky and Wolagiewicz are already and unfortunately 
dead) and are connected with Wolfram's group of historians at 
Vienna. In fact, I met Kokvsky only a few weeks ago at a 
conference at Kravsko in Moravia and he and I have been friends 
and penpals  for nearly two decades. I am sure that no one is more 
unhappy nowadays about some unfortunate passages in this 
otherwise excellent catalogue of Bevern/Holzminden of 1995 than 
Andrzej himself. Although the title is misleading, it was an 
exhibition of Andrzej Kokowski's excavations of Wielbark 
cemeteries and settlements and it had nothing to do at all with the 
Ostrogoths.
Kind regards
