[INDOLOGY] the word 'sesame' and the use of sesame oil

[Andrea Lorene Gutierrez]

Dear all,

Here's Gode's Vol. II of Cultural History, covering other aspects of
material cultural history. I would not be surprised if Gode wrote on sesame
elsewhere (through BORI?), as he was such a remarkably prolific scholar.
Please do share if the reference is found.

Yours,
Andrea
