OK. My authority is Bennet's "Introduction to the Gothic Language",
Chapter 7, Section 7.5, where he dicusses the extant manuscripts in
Gothic. Quote: "All are copies and appear to have been written
between 476 and 522." And, discussing the Codices Ambrosiani,"..
containing fragments of the Epistles...together with the one page
remnant of the calendar". You will also find reference to the
calendar on the Project Wulfila website.
