In 1911 Julius Jolly reported on the contents of the *Arthaśāstra* at the first session of the Internationale Vereinigung für Vergleichende Rechtswissenschaft (International Union for Comparative Jurisprudence) which was held at Heidelberg. The paper was published at Berlin in 1912 in the *Proceedings* of this Session, under the title “Ein altindisches Lehrbuch der Politik” (An Old Indian Textbook of Politics). His “Lexikalisches aus dem Kauṭilya” (Dictionary material from the K.) appeared in the *Indo-Germanische Forschungen* vol. xxxi of 1912. During this period Jolly entertained no doubts about the authenticity and antiquity.
