The Codex Argenteus or the "Silver Bible" was based on Gothic Bishop Ulfilas's translation of parts of the bible into Gothic language. The Goth were Arians?, they followed the teachings of Arius of Egypt about the person and nature of Jesus Christ.

The "Silver Bible" was probably written for Gothic King Theodoric the Great at his royal seat in Ravenna?. It was made as a special and impressive book written with gold and silver ink on high quality vellum with an ornate binding. After Theodoric's death the Silver Bible is not mentioned in inventories or book lists for a thousand years.
