It's the same manuscript, but this is just a part of the Gothic
material in it. Besides the numbers and sample phrases here [
http://www.gotica.de/vindobonensis.html ], the codex contains two
versions of the Gothic alphabet, along with the Gothic names for their
letters, apparently transcribed according to Old High German spelling
conventions. Titus has a list of the names alongside those of the
runes for comparison [
