¹ Prof. A. Weber has said very little about the Jaina literature in his famous *Lectures on the History of Indian Literature* (2nd German edn., 1876). But that was not his fault; for, it may be ascribed to the state of knowledge at that time. He made up this deficiency by giving a splendid account of the Jaina literature in the "Indische Studien" vols. XVI and XVII (1883-85) and in his Reports on Jaina Mss. in the Royal Library at Berlin (1888-91). He was the very pioneer of the Jaina Studies in Europe.
