It focuses on two of the most pertinent issues in Indian religion, the history of vegetarianism and cow-veneration, and its historical approach remains relevant to this day.With reference to significant brahminical texts, such as key chapters of the Book of Manu, the book centres on the author?s analysis of the role of Jinism in the history of vegetarianism. The author explores the history of meat-eating in India and its relationship to religious thought and custom, and searches for solutions to the problem of cattle veneration. Besides a comprehensive translation of the original German manuscript "Beiträge zur Geschichte von Vegetarismus und Rinderverehrung in Indien", four important articles directly related to Alsdorf?s work by Kapadia, Heesterman and Schmidt are made available in this new edition. 330 $aThese additional contributions and careful notes by the editor Willem Bollée add a modern perspective to a study that remains a key reference for students and scholars of Religious Studies, Asian Studies and History. 410 0$aRoutledge advances in Jaina studies ;$v3. 606 $aVegetarianism$xReligious aspects$xJainism 606 $aCows$xReligious aspects$xJainism 606 $aJainism$xHistory 606 $aVegetarianism$zIndia$xHistory 615 0$aVegetarianism$xReligious aspects$xJainism. 615 0$aCows$xReligious aspects$xJainism. 615 0$aJainism$xHistory. 615 0$aVegetarianism$xHistory. 676 $a294.5/48693 700 $aAlsdorf$b Ludwig$f1904-1978.,$0180455 701 $aBollee$b Willem B$0478663 701 $aHayton$b Nichola$01547625 701 $aPatil$b Bal$f1932-$01547626 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792381003321 996 $aThe history of vegetarianism and cow-veneration in India$93804101 997 $aUNINA
