The Doctrine of the Jainas, Described after the Old Sources c5.21

c5.21

BÜHLER, through his Reports, has not only become a patron of Jain philology indirectly, but thanks to a number of original works and essays has been a direct promotor in our field, as, in the course of years, WEBER, too, had been, and, moreover, they both have inspired younger scholars. JACOBI'S critical edition of the "Kalpasūtra of Bhadrabāhu" (AKM 7, 1 1879) clearly shows traces of BÜHLER'S spirit, while LEUMANN'S "Aupapātika Sūtra" (AKM 8, 2; 1883)—originally a thesis of Leipzig—is influenced by WEBER and the Berlin Collection. It may be mentioned here that WEBER successfully co-operated with LEUMANN in his great essay referred to above. The editions of both JACOBI and LEUMANN are masterpieces of philology, and it was only a predilection for the old Prakrit grammarians that led PISCHEL in his famous "Grammatik der Prakrit-Sprachen" (§ 19, footnote 3) to call HOERNLE'S "Uvāsagadasāo" (1890) the only "critical" one¹.
