to younger scholars. Accordingly I do not see my way to writing the articlees on Jain Philosophy, I once had in view. And the introduction to the shafaq too, I am sorry, will remain unwritten.
I beg to acknowledge with thanks the receipt of Tattvakhyan Uttarardha and the special issue of Vividha Vichara. mālā-The copy of the Tattvarthādigma Sutra in the Bibliotheca Jainica which you kindly lent me, will be despat. ched to you by next mail. With kind regards, I remain,
Yours very sincerly, HERMANN JACOBI.

Bonn, 29th March 1926.
59 Niebuhrstasse. Dear Sir,
I had much pleasure in receiving your letter dated Febr. 27, which contained good news from you and kind wishes for me. I also beg to acknowledge receipt of the “Vihar-Vernan" a kind of Jain Baedecker, which contains information useful in many ways. You urge me to rewrite my article on Jainism in the Encyclopaedia of Religion & Ethics. But I feel that I could not bring it out without preparatory researching which require more time and leisure than are at my disposal at my age. I hope, however, to induce Prof. W. Schubring who is without doubt .our best Jain scholar, well grounded in the Siddhanta, to undertake a similar work. If you are able to procure for him the gift of the Abhidhānarāje.
ndrakosa I am sure that be will do important work for Jain Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaraqyanbhandar.com
