For the first time, this influential study by Ludwig Alsdorf is made available to an English speaking audience, translated by Bal Patil. It focuses on two of the most pertinent issues in Indian religion, the history of vegetarianism and cowveneration, 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 authors analysis of the role of Jinism in the history of vegetarianism. The author explores the history of meateating 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 "Beitrge zur Geschichte von Vegetarismus und Rinderverehrung in Indien", four important articles directly related to Alsdorfs work by Kapadia, Heesterman and Schmidt are made available in this new edition.These additional contributions and careful notes by the editor Willem Bolle add a modern perspective to a study that remains a key reference for students and scholars of Religious Studies, Asian Studies and History.
