Dear Indology list-members,
I am trying to compile a complete as possible list of literary histories of Jainism. With "literary histories" I do NOT mean studies or translations of specific works or studies of Jain doctrine, but only broader surveys that attempt to provide a historical outline of authors and works over a longer span of time. I also include histories of literature in specific languages, such as Prakrit, provided that these involve a substantial amount of Jain texts. However, I do not include library and manuscript catalogs or reports.


Here is a collection works:
