The Silver Bible - Codex argenteus

The Silver Bible, or the Codex Argenteus, at Carolina Rediviva Library, Uppsala University.
The Silver Bible, or Codex Argenteus, was created in Italy in the early sixth century. Soon after its creation, the book went missing. One thousand years later, it resurfaced in Germany. The story of the Silver Bible is a remarkable one that involves war, theft, unpaid librarians, book collectors, kings, emperors, and queens. On top of all this, the Silver Bible provides insight to the culture and language of one of the most enigmatic ancient peoples, the Goths.
