Toledo

  Wasn't the Gothic Bible translated in the 4th Century? Jerome translated 
the Vulgate in the late 3rd Century, so the Latin Text did exist before the

As long as the were Arian Christian the Gothic language was the
reglious language as their bible was written in the Gothic language.
The bible was translated into Gothic much earlier than it was
translaten into Latin.
