This alphabet was created by bishop Wulfila (311-383 CE) who was the religious leader of the Visigoths. It was created in the fourth century for his Gothic translation of the Bible. (Gothic is the oldest known Germanic language.) The alphabet is mostly derived from Greek letters. The Gothic language was previously written using 'pagan' runic letters.
