[INDOLOGY] death of Raniero Gnoli

[Harry Spier]

Dear list members,

Dr. Gnoli's wikipedia page says he was he first (at that time only one) to
have translated the Tantraloka into a western language.  Over 20 years ago
I was shown a hand typed english translation of the Tantraloka, that I had
been told was translated and copied from an Italian translation of the
Tantraloka. I presume the Italian translation was from Dr. Gnoli. Rest in
peace Dr. Gnoli.
