11.20 Leumann, Übersicht 1934 etc. (1) Übersicht über die Āvaśyaka-Literatur von Ernst Leumann. Aus dem Nachlaß herausgegeben von Walther Schubring. Hamburg, ANISH.4.1934. c.IV,56 pp., 2°. The Übersicht (= A Survey of the Āvaśyaka-Literature) is a monumental work, prepared in the last century and is the proof of the genius of E. Leumann who could utilize only Mss. (in Berlin, Strasbourg, and from Poona) for his valuable studies. Übersicht,p.28b deals with Nāila (MNA, Chap.IV), cf. MNSt.B,p.174. The two other important publications of Ernst Leumann are: (2) Das Aupapātika Sūtra, erstes Upānga der Jainas. Leipzig (AKM.8.2) 1883. 166 pp. (3) Die Avasyaka-Erzählungen (1. Heft). Leipzig (AKM.10.2) 1897. 48 (+1) pp. Both works of Leumann (reprinted 1966) are referred to in the German contributions on the Mahānisiha. (See also Nalini Balbir, Récits jaina "Die Avaśyaka-Erzählungen", forthcoming, dealing exhaustively with the Āvaśyaka narratives and Leumann's work thereon.)
