THE TIMELINE ATLAS
JOURNEY ATLAS ↗FORM / ROUTE / BOUND
1398 REVIEWED EVENTSLANGUAGE
IN TIME.
One cross-word chronology for every defensibly bounded form and journey stage—without converting a vague historical label into a fake year.
A reviewed graph bound, not a claim of an earliest human word.
Only stages with directly cited numeric bounds enter this atlas.
Labels remain visible in Journey Atlas, but not parsed into false years.

FILTER THE CHRONOLOGY
WHEN DID THE EVIDENCE LAND?
TWO CLOCKS.
NO FALSE PRECISION.
FORM CHRONOLOGY dates a canonical linguistic form or reconstruction in the lexical graph.
ROUTE CHRONOLOGY dates a geographic or transmission stage in a word’s journey.
They can share an era band, but they are never silently treated as the same kind of claim.

THE EVIDENCE IN TIME
Antiquity2 ON THIS PAGE
500 BCE–200 CErange
ROUTE STAGEProto-Germanic linguistic horizon
hatis
*hatiz-
The Gothic noun, i-stem Old English hete and Old Saxon heti, and the wider Germanic cognate set support a comparative noun base without licensing one archaeological point or directly written Proto-Germanic token.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
A conventional comparative-linguistic interval, not an attested word date.
AUDIT RECORD ↗300 CE–399 CEcentury
ROUTE STAGEFourth-century Gothic translation tradition
hatis
hatis in Gothic biblical vocabulary
Fourteen of the fifteen reported tokens belong to the Gothic Bible tradition. Their Greek alignment reveals translation choices but does not date the first use of the noun in speech.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
The century dates the translation tradition, not the exact moment the noun entered Gothic or acquired any particular sense.
AUDIT RECORD ↗Medieval1 ON THIS PAGE
500 CE–525 CErange
ROUTE STAGERavenna
hatis
early-sixth-century Codex Argenteus witness
The directly inspected Luke 3:7 hatiza occurs in the purple-vellum Gospel codex probably copied in Ravenna. The remaining source-reported tokens survive in other Gothic witnesses and are not silently assigned to this object.
4 EVIDENCE LINKS
The interval operationalizes the official early-sixth-century dating; 510 is only a representative attestation year.
AUDIT RECORD ↗Early modern5 ON THIS PAGE
1500 CE–1599 CEcentury
ROUTE STAGEWerden, Ruhr district
hatis
sixteenth-century Codex Argenteus custody
The directly inspected codex was known in the sixteenth century at a Benedictine monastery in Werden. This is the route of one evidence object, not proof that spoken Gothic traveled with it.
1 EVIDENCE LINK
The official history supplies a century-level custody horizon rather than exact arrival and departure years.
AUDIT RECORD ↗1600 CE–1648 CErange
ROUTE STAGEPrague
hatis
imperial custody by 1600 to 1648
By 1600 the Codex Argenteus was in Prague in the hands of Emperor Rudolph II; Swedish forces took it when they stormed the city in 1648.
1648 CE–1654 CErange
ROUTE STAGEStockholm
hatis
Swedish royal custody after 1648
The codex reached Stockholm as spoil of war and entered Queen Christina’s library before passing to Isaac Vossius.
1 EVIDENCE LINK
The upper bound uses the queen’s abdication as the transition horizon described by the official history.
AUDIT RECORD ↗1654 CE–1669 CErange
ROUTE STAGEHolland custody
hatis
Isaac Vossius and acquisition by De la Gardie
Vossius took the manuscript to Holland; Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie later bought it and presented it to Uppsala University.
1 EVIDENCE LINK
The official history names Holland but does not reduce this custody stage to one city or exact transaction year.
AUDIT RECORD ↗1669 CE–2026 CErange
ROUTE STAGEUppsala University Library
hatis
custody since 1669
De la Gardie presented the codex to Uppsala University in 1669. The modern facsimile exposes folio 129r, while Project Wulfila links the wider Gothic corpus inventory.
2 EVIDENCE LINKS
This stage traces evidence preservation and access, not continued Gothic speech.
AUDIT RECORD ↗UNBOUNDED IS
A REAL RESULT.
Stages without source-backed numeric bounds stay in their complete Journey Atlas route, carry an explicit temporal note, and remain absent here until the evidence supports normalization. The missing point is visible work—not permission to guess.
