'શું જેન ભૂગોળ-ખગોળ સાચી છે?
આ પુસ્તકની પ્રસ્તાવનામાં ડૉ. બોશે લખ્યું છે કે “Jain cosmography and geography excel, even more than their Brahmanic and Buddhist counterparts, in their systematic and mathematical approach. Jain vision of the universe and the world is complicated, inventive and above all, extremely idealized.” લોક અંગેના જૈન પરંપરાના નકશા માટે તેઓ આગળ લખે છે કે “In Jain cosmography, the endeavour of the human mind to grasp his universe and his world in idealized patterns is illustrated at its best.”
