JAINA BIBLIOGRAPHY
Books and Papers published in French or by French scholars from 1906 to 1981
Colette CAILLAT and Nalini BALBIR
In the various fields of "Indology", the need for up to-date and systematic, as far as possible exhaustive, bibliographies has recently been. emphasized. This is particularly true as far as Jainism is concerned, the more so as it appears that only books and monographs written in English have been generally accessible.
As a contribution to this task, we here list all the publications (books, articles, notices) on Jainism which have been written by French or by French-writing scholars, including the few works by foreign scholars which have been written or translated into French.
It seems that the rules followed by A. GUERINOT in his, Essai de bibliographie jaina (Paris 1906) supplemented by his Notes de bibliographie jaina (Paris 1909) have been accepted (cf. CHHOTE LAL JAIN, Jaina Bibliography, Calcutta 1945, Jaina Bibliography Series No. 1), they have guided us also. For example, under the main headings, the contributions. are listed according to chronological order, detailed informations of translations, etc., are given. We have added the number of pages, and have, naturally, followed the international system of transcription of Indo-Aryan.
