Indian Antiquary Vol 39

The provided text from the Indian Antiquary, Volume 39 (1910), edited by Sir Richard Carnac Temple, covers a wide range of Oriental research, including archaeology, history, folklore, languages, and religion. While the index mentions various topics, the content specifically highlighted by the user relates to Jain texts and discussions.

The most direct mention of Jainism appears in the "Contents" and "Book Notices" sections. Notably, there is an entry for:

• THE KALPA-SUTRA, AN OLD COLLECTION OF DISCIPLINARY RULES FOR JAINA MONKS. This entry indicates that a translation from the German of Dr. Walther Schubring into English by Miss May S. Burgess is featured in this volume. The Kalpa-Sutra is a fundamental Jain text outlining the conduct and rules for Jain monks. Dr. Schubring's work is presented as a scholarly analysis, likely detailing the historical context, the rules themselves, and possibly a glossary of terms. The mention of it being a translation from German and the inclusion of Dr. Schubring's name suggest a comprehensive academic study of this important Jain scripture.

While other articles in the Indian Antiquary discuss various aspects of Indian culture, history, and language, the Kalpa-Sutra is the only explicitly Jain text referenced in the provided table of contents and book notices. The volume also includes extensive articles on Indian history and geography (J.F. Fleet), contributions to Panjabi lexicography (H.A. Rose), archaeological explorations in Central Asia (Dr. M. Aurel Stein), and detailed translations and analyses of the Arthashastra of Chanakya. These broader articles, while not directly Jain, provide significant historical and cultural context for understanding the period in which Jainism flourished and interacted with other Indian traditions.
