[gothic-l] James Marchand

[Magnus Hreinn Snaedal]

Marchand, James W. 1973. On the Gotica Veronensia. New Testament Studies
19:465-468.
In this paper Marchand was able to add two new glosses and correct the
reading of several others (showing also that one of them was non-existent,
cf. Streitberg, Die gotische Bibel, pp. 489-491). No new word came out of
this but he confirmed that one of the glosses reads: bi horos jah motarjos,
where one would expect: bi horans jah motarjans. These glosses may have
been around 20 originally but many of them are now illegible.
R. Gryson got the photographs Marchand used and they are printed in:
Gryson, Roger. 1982. Le recueil arien de Vérone. Étude codicologique et
paléographique. The Hague. [Instrumenta patristica XIII.]
