[INDOLOGY] Indology in Bologna 1900-1903 AD (and Paul-Emile Dumont)

Tue Jul 16 12:03:18 UTC 2013

Thanks, Svevo.
I knew that he was a senator, but the link you gave was new to me. Perhaps I could have found the correct dates also from Franci's books, but they are at home and I am writing from my office. I visited Bologna myself 11 years ago giving a few lectures and had very nice time with Franci, Passi and Marchignoli.

Best,
Klaus

Presently, beside his Indological writings and  a few family archives, I only have the reference to an obituary published in the Baltimore Sun (or The Sun, Baltimore) on the 10th of December 1968 (but no copy of it). Any living testimony would be also appreciated.
