आचार्य हेमचन्द्र
“ Hemchandra has very extensive and at the same time accurate knowledge of many branches of Hindu and Jaina learning, combined with great literary skill, and on easy style. His strength lies in encyclopaedical, work rather than in original research but the enormous mass of varied information which he gatherd from original sources, mostly lost to us makes his work an inestimable mine for phicological and . historical research",
