Gothic Bible, Vetus Latina and Visigothic Law: Evidence for a Septuagint-based Gothic Version of Exodus
Marianne Elsakkers
Although there is no extant version of the Gothic Bible book Exodus, this paper argues that Visigothic secular law provides textual and conceptual evidence for existence a translation Exodus based on Greek Septuagint Old Testament, because abortion (LV 6.3.2) remarkably similar to biblical abortion. Both laws distinguish between early term late abortion, using concept 'formed — unformed'. The occurrence distinction in an innovation comparison with contemporary, written canonical suggests was one sources used by lawmakers did indeed exist. Arianism would then be missing link.
