Hi Carlos,

can I just ask, when you write that documents were in 'pure' 
Visigothic, do you mean a) in Gothic language or b) in the Wulfila 
alphabet or c) in an old Hispanic script that was named Visigothic, 
just as for example a certain German script that is still used today 
is called Gothic?

cheers,

Dirk
