Publisher's Synopsis
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 2 (1895) translated by Hermann Jacobi, is volume XLV of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book in two parts, focuses on Jainism and is considered one of the most important in the Jainism doctrine. This text contains the Uttarâdhyayana Sûtra and The Sûtrakritâṅga Sûtra, and is a fascinating read for those interested in Jainism.
