² Some of the leading Jain texts have been translated by Prof. Hermann Jacobi (*S. B. E.*, vols. xxii, xlv). For full information on all publications relating to Jainism see Dr. A. Guérinot's fine work, *Essai de Bibliographie Jaina, répertoire analytique et méthodique des travaux relatifs au Jainisme* (Paris, Leroux, 1906; pp. 568), and the supplement to it, entitled 'Notes de Bibliographie Jaina' (*J. As.*, Juillet-Août 1909). The reader may also consult Barodia, *History and Literature of Jainism*, Bombay, 1909; and Mrs. Sinclair Stevenson’s works, especially *The Heart of Jainism*, Oxford University Press, 1915. Jagmanderlal Jaini’s *Outlines of Jainism*, Cambridge University Press, 1916, is an authoritative work. A good summary of the early history of Jainism in English is given by Dr. Hoernle in his presidential address to the Asiatic Society of Bengal (*Proc. A. S. B.*, 1898, pp. 39–53). Bühler’s tract *Ueber die indische Secte der Jaina* (1887) was ed. and transl. by Burgess (1903), with many errors in the rendering (*Z. D. M. G.*, 1906, p. 384).
