or for what purpose? What was its approximate size ? Can you tell me what a Vedi is ? Is it an altar or is it a sort of pavillon made from wood. Very thankful I shall be for information concerning old and new Jain sects.
The proprietor of the Scarabacus Verlag tells me that the reproduction in colours of the 14 pictures of the Kalpasutra Mss. will be very expensive. 500 copies of all the 14 pictures will cost about 700 £, 1000 copies 900 £ of which sums 500 or 700 £ would be payable in advance. I think this is very dear and I do not know if under these circumstances the offer will be of use.
On Wednesday, 23rd I shall deliver a great lecture at 8 p. m. in the greatest room of the University on Indian Mystics. I shall deal in it with Jainism but of course I shall also speak on Vedanta, Yoga, Bhakti-marga, Saktisni and Buddhism.
I hope you will have got now my book-Madhva's philosophy of Vaishnavism. With kind regards, I am, yours very sincerely,
HELMUTH VON GLASENAPP.
