Still no solid answer to your original question, I'm afraid, but<br>
regarding the psalms, there is also a marginal note to Eph 4:8 in<br>
Codex Amrosianus A: 'psalmo'. And to I Cor 14:21, there is a marginal<br>
note 'Esaias'. According to Friedrichsen, these refer to Psalm 67:18<br>
and Isiah 28:11 respectively (Friedrichsen: The Gothic Version of the<br>
Epistles 1939, p. 67). Of course, these don't necessarily imply a<br>
Gothic translation, but show at the very least an interest in, and<br>
awareness of, these books among the Goths. In support of his argument<br>
that the whole Bible was translated, he suggests that Nehemiah, being<br>
a relatively unimportant book of the Old Testament, is unlikely to<br>
have been of high priority for translators; probably more urgent<br>
sections had already been completed, such as Acts, Psalms, etc.<br>
(Friedrichsen 1939, p. 158). He points to echoes of Hebrews,<br>
Leviticus or Numbers, and to the Acts of the Apostles in the<br>
Skeireins. He mentions the evidence for Book 5 of Genesis in the<br>
Vienna-Salzburg Codex, adding that "both the Laws and the Gospels are<br>
referred to in the Brixian Preface," and (more tenuously), he mentions<br>
Procopius's report that the Vandal King Gelimer repeated "Vanity of<br>
vanities, all is vanity," when brought as a captive to Constantinople<br>
(AD 534), "but whether the wretched king murmured these words in<br>
Vandalic or Latin, we are not told" (Friedrichsen 1939, p. 258).<br>
