This publication is first one of a prospective series of articles devoted to the establishing and formation of Jainology as an academic discipline. This article examines the beginning stage of Jain Studies related to the first publications of Jain texts, the appearance of the terms “Jainism” and “Jain(s)” in the public space and the first academic works on the Jain Studies describing the Doctrine of Jains in general. According to this the author of the article suggests to designate the time frame of the first period of Jainology by the middle of the XIX to 20s of the XXth century.
