- The Sanskrit philologist and librarian J. Klatt (1852-1903) dedicated his short life to the study of the historical records of the Jainas. Klatt left behind the nearly completed manuscript of his monumental Jaina-Onomasticon of 1892, a 5338 page long anthology of proper names and biographies of Jaina authors, texts and place names with explanatory notes, handwritten in English. The Jaina-Onomasticon, a 1012 page work, co-produced by P. Flügel and K. Krümpelmann, makes this previously unpublished encyclopaedic work of J. Klatt accessible. It is the outcome of a research project initiated by PF, funded by Leverhulme RPG-2012-620, and consists of four parts: PF's monograph-length introduction on Life and Work of Johannes Klatt (1-165); editorial notes by PF and KK (165-171); the transcription of Klatt’s text by KK (172-857); and a reconstruction of the sources used by J. Klatt by KK (959-1012). The book has been acknowledged already as an indispensable source of reference both for the study of Jaina social and intellectual history and of the history of Oriental Studies.
