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.
