[gothic-l] Re: is Gothic the language of one or a few men?

I wonder if the Vandals ever wrote anything in their own language except
for inscriptions. They were a much smaller society then the Goths and were
less civilized in general.

As for these books, there aren't a lot of Gothicists and not many people
have access to these ancient materials. It's a shame that so few people can
enter the library of the Vatican, there is a chance offinding material in
Gothic in there, especially because the Goths once reigned in Rome and
Italy, in which Vatican City is.

binding to see if there is any Gothic writing. It's just as valuable to
history as those books are, especially to "Gothicists". Also, they continue
to find Gothic manuscripts all the time, like the Codex Boloniensia, found
in 2013. They continue to find Gaulish material, too, and I'm hoping
fervently that they come across something in Vandalic one day. (There were
some Latin texts written in the Vandal Empire that were buried in pots and
set out in the mountains, and they were discovered relatively recently. I
have faith in finding more material in these languages.)
