Jainism

Series: The Sacred Books of the East (Volume 22 of 50)

The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. Jaina Sutras, Part 1 (1884), translated by Hermann Jacobi, is volume XXII of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book, in two parts, focuses on Jainism. Passed on through oral tradition, this text contains the teachings of Jain leader Mahavira, specifically the Acharanga and Kalpa sutras, the foundation of Jainism. This is a fascinating addition to the personal library of those interested in Jainism and ancient religions.

HERMANN JACOBI (1850-1937) was a German-born scholar and professor of Sanskrit at the University of Bonn. During a trip to India, he discovered Jainism, later becoming an authority on the faith and translating the Jaina Sutras in The Sacred Books of the East series. F. MAX MÜLLER (1823-1900) was a German author and orientalist who lived in England most of his life. As a professor at Oxford, he combined the studies of language, culture, and religion to create the discipline of comparative mythology. His body of work included The Sacred Books of the East, which he had edited.
