Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The in the Time of Ulfila by Edward Arthur Thompson The Visigoths in the Time of Ulfila by Edward Arthur Thompson. Ulfilas (ca. 311 - ca 383) Synopsis. ULPHILAS, the Apostle of the Goths (313-383). According to the Arian church historian, Philostorgius ( Hist. Eccl ., 2, 5), whose statement is corroborated by other Greek church historians, he belonged to a Cappadocian family which was carried away from its homestead as prisoners of war by the Goths, but which soon found itself so well installed among the captors, and so closely allied to them, that the son received a Gothic name, Wûlfila ("Little Wolf"). He was educated in Christianity and in Greek learning, and on account of his great natural gifts he was destined for the church. The Goths, at that time settled on the northern bank of the Danube, just outside the pale of the Roman Empire, were rank heathens; but they were converted by Ulphilas. His missionary labor among them must have begun very early; for in 343 he was ordained their bishop, probably by an Arian bishop, since he himself afterwards declared that had always been his faith. How successful his work was may be inferred from the fact that the Gothic chief Athanaric became frightened, and instituted a violent persecution in 350. But Ulphilas obtained permission from the Emperor Constantius to immigrate with his flock of converts to the Roman Empire, and to settle in Moesia near Nicopolis, at the foot of Mount Haemus. Meanwhile the mission among the Goths north of the Danube did not stop its work; and in 370 a new persecution brought a new flock of Gothic converts into the Roman Empire under the protection of the Emperor Valens. Shortly after, a Gothic chief, Frithigern, embraced Christianity, his whole tribe following his example; and finally Athanaric himself was won for the new faith, which simply meant that the conversion of the whole Gothic nation was completed. They were Arians; and on Jan. 17, 383, a council was opened in for the purpose of bringing about a reconciliation between the Arian Goths and the Orthodox Greek Church. It is probable that Ulphilas was present at that council. Its purpose, however, was not accomplished. See the art. GOTHS. In his missionary work, Ulphilas had use, not only for his natural gifts, but also for the accomplishments of his education. One of his most effective means of success was, no doubt, his translation of the Bible into the vernacular tongue of the Goths, for which he had to invent a new alphabet, a combination of Greek and Runic letters: it is the oldest existing monument of any Teutonic language. Whether he translated the whole Bible, or only portions, is doubtful: only fragments have come down to us. Seven codices have been discovered, - Codex Argenteus, written on purple vellum in gold and silver letters, dating from the sixth century, discovered in 1597 in the Benedictine abbey of Werden, now preserved in the library of Upsala, and published with diplomatic accuracy by Uppstrom (1854); Codex Carolinus, discovered in the library of Wolfenbuttel in 1756, and published in 1762-63; finally, palimpsest fragments of five codices discovered in the Ambrosian library at Milan by Angelo Mai, and published 1819-38. The best collected editions of these fragments are those by Von der G abelentz and Loebe, Leip., 1836-46, with Latin version, grammar, and lexicon; E. Bernhardt, Halle, 1875, with full critical notes; and Stamm, Paderborn, 1878 (7th ed. by M. Heyne), the most convenient manual edition. Compare also The Gothic and Anglo-Saxon Gospels in Parallel Columns with the Versions of Wycljffè and Tyndale, by Jos. BOSWORTH, London, 1874, 2d ed.; and SKEAT: The Gospel of St. Mark in Gothic, Oxford, 1882, with glossary, grammar, and notes. Romans and Barbarians: The Decline of the Western Empire Essay (Book Review) Romans and Barbarians: The Decline of the Western Empire is a classic work written by E.A Thompson. The book investigates the fall of the Roman Empire from a barbarian point of view and experience. Many interpretations forwarded on the decline of the Roman Empire in the West look at the barbarians invaders as slayers. However, the author is of the opinion that the correlation between those invaded and the raiders was more complex than many people believe. He is of the view that we fail to understand the barbarian ways and attitudes and therefore, fail to understand them. The information in the book is thoroughly researched and the author gives the reader an insight into one of the most misinterpreted period of the Roman Empire. E.A. Thompson has been praised by many scholars for his book Romans and Barbarians: The Decline of the Western Empire for his thorough research and detailed account of events that took place in during the Dark Ages. Edward Arthur Thompson was born on 22 May 1914 and died on 1 January 1994. He was a British classicist and a professor at the University of Nottingham where he taught from 1948 to 1979. Most of the works he wrote from a Marxist perspective and he maintained the argument that the Visigoths were settled in the Aquantine in an attempt to counter internal threat faced by the peasant bagaudae. Although he left the communist Party of Great Britain that was seen to be pro-Soviet in 1956, in his academic work he continued demonstrating a Marxist oriented outlook on historical events. His interest in the class structure of the societies and the material needs is seen to structure his studies. Discussion. Before the past decade, before the book was published there had been a remarkable increase in publications in Late Antiquity. Unlike other scholars, Thompson concentrated his research on the Germanic people who lived in the Dark Ages during the Age of Migrations. The book contains twelve essays that deal with the fate of the Western provinces of the then Roman Empire. It focuses on the last days of the Roman Empire and experiences the inhabitants had before the Northerners began their rule. The Romans referred to the Northerners as barbarians and did not believe their empire could fall. The authors historical reconstruction are based on the research he carried out on all available ancient sources and he is successful in displaying the transition that saw the change from Roman rule to the Northerners. The traits of the essays give the book a quality that is both timely and priceless. Analysis of the book. The book begins by addressing The Settlement of Barbarians in Southern Gaul’ in the first chapter. They are said to have settled in the year AD 418, and the author continues to explore the Germanic and Samaritaian groups that were travelling through Gaul and Spain during those times. From this chapter the author is able to show the reader how the fall of the Roman Empire began with these migrations. In the following chapter, the author tries to summarize the history of the earlier Visigoths and this he does up to when they permanently settle in Spain. The third chapter of the book looks at the nominal date that saw the fall of the Roman Western Empire in 476. These chapters are instrumental in laying a foundation for the chapters that follow and gives some of the important dates in the fall of the Western Roman Empire. From the fourth chapter to the final twelfth chapter, the author concentrates on giving the reader accounts of the numerous wars that were seen between the Easterner Roman Empire and the Goths. He also gives a detailed account of the Spanish events that occurred during the 5 th and 6 th centuries. The author takes three chapters of the book to narrate on t conquer of Spain by the barbarians. He goes further and talks on the fall of the Suevic at the hands of the hands of the barbarians. In another chapter, he dedicates on narrating about the fall of Noricum, which was one of the last holdings of the Romans in the West at the end of the 5 th century. It is in this chapter that we see the last epigraphic evidence of the Roman Soldiers coming. The most interesting part of the book is when the author recounts the stay of the barbarians in Spain as well as the lives of the Vandals and Ostrogoths during the 6 th century. Unlike other books written on the Western Roman Empire such as Roman Britain by Malcolm Todd that give detailed accounts of the barbarian settlement in Britain, there is little information in the book about the settlement. However, the book talks on the Italian outlook on the Byzantine’ conquest that happened in the 6 th century in detail. The author talks of the collaboration between the barbarians and the Romans as well as how they accepted Christianity. He supports his arguments by giving examples of how the barbarians adopted the way of life of the Romans and he gives bizarre cases of the Romans adopting the barbarian’s ways in the last chapters. At the end of the book the author gives the story of Bacaudaue and this is followed by a comprehensive list of the ancient sources he used while writing the book. Conclusion and Recommendations. Through his book, Thompson is successful in giving his readers an insight in to the last days of the Western Roman Empire and the rise of the Northerners rule. Through his research, he gives accounts of the major happening during the Dark Ages and gives exact dates. This is useful for students learning about the late Roman Empire and the rise of the Northern rule. The book may be used as a source of much information on the history of the Germanic people and their way of life. Anyone researching on the medieval history of Europe and the Mediterranean region will also find this book very useful. Thompson is able to state his arguments and offer evidence through his extensive research and the numerous examples he gives in his book. This is a very informative book and I would recommend to anyone seeking for an erudite examination of Western Roman Empire and the early Byzantine Empires and how they relate. It is also good if you are looking for information on the history of the Goths, Sueves and Vandals during the AD 418-700. However, if you are looking for a book expecting to be entertained by the barbarian stories then this is not the right book for you to buy. Chindasuinth.
