Ulfilas
(redirected from Wulfila)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

Ulfilas (c.311–385)

Christian missionary to the Goths, and father of Teutonic literature. He was one of the main exponents of Arianism, but is best remembered for his Gothic translation of the Bible, a work that helped formalize the Gothic language and perpetuated Christianity among the Goths.

Ulfilas was consecrated a bishop in AD 341, but was driven out by his heathen compatriots and sought refuge in Lower Moesia (modern Bulgaria), where he remained for 30 years. In 385 he went to Constantinople and died there shortly afterwards.
