Ulphilas

(Scand.)

A schoolman who made a new alphabet for the Goths in the fourth century — a union of Greek letters with the form of the runic alphabet, since which time the runes began to die out and their secret was gradually lost. (See “ Runes”.) He translated the Bible into Gothic, preserved in the Codex Argenteus. (TG).
