Uppsala University Library - Codex Argenteus Manuscript

Uppsala's University Library's greatest treasure (in its display collection) is the famous Codex Argenteus, probably written at Ravenna in the reign of Theodoric the Great (sixth C.). It contains the translation of the Gospels by the Gothic bishop Wulfila or Ulfilas (d. 383), written in silver and gold letters on 187 pages of purple parchment, in a 17th century silver binding.
