Hi Llama Nom,

is there any explanation why somebody in the early 9th century in
middle/northern Germany would carve an inscription in Gothic, using
the Gothic alphabet. If this interpretation of the Brunshausen
inscription is correct, should this be related to the Codex
Argenteum, which was probably in Germany (maybe Aachen) at that time?
Are there any other indications that people were using the Gothic
alphabet anywhere at that time?


Cheers
Dirk
