Skeireins
The Skeireins [ ˈskiːʀiːns ] ( singular ) is a Gothic interpretation of the Gospel of John of the Wulfilabibel , which has been preserved in fragments on eight sheets of codices later written in Latin (Codex Ambrosianus E and Codex Vaticanus Latinus 5750). The original name is unknown, the current name was given to the Skeireins in the 19th century after the Gothic word skeireins 'explanation', actually a short form of the name skeireins aiwaggeljons þairh Iohannen (translated Explanation of the Gospel according to John ), under which the fragments were first published . The Skeireins is the most extensive and therefore most important Gothic text after the Wulfilabibel; Whether it is a translation from Greek or Latin or an original Gothic work has not yet been clarified.
