"Jordanes was a 6th-century Eastern Roman bureaucrat, widely believed to be of Gothic descent, who became a historian later in life. Two pioneering works edited by Bonaventura VULCANIUS (or de Smet, 1538-1614), professor of Greek at the University of Leiden, devoted to scarce historical accounts of the Goths, and, in De Literis, the evolution of the Gothic languages, with sections on Anglo-Saxon, runes, ancient Celtic and other early alphabets.
