[INDOLOGY] Johannes Bronkhorst gone

[nmmcgovern81 at gmail.com]

What terribly sad news. I had the privilege of meeting Johannes in person a couple of times, so I can also testify to his cheerfulness, as Harry so aptly put it. And having corresponded with him more broadly over the years, I can add that he was a remarkably kind man, not to mention a brilliant, innovative, and prolific scholar. His passing is a huge loss to all of us, but I feel blessed to have known and been intellectually challenged by him. His legacy will loom large.

Dear friends and colleagues,
I have just received the news that Johannes Bronkhorst left this world today at noon in a controlled manner, as was his custom, together with his beloved wife Joy Manné.
He sent the last batch of his papers just a few days ago. He will be remembered as an innovative and inspired scientist, a cheerful person and a true and dear friend.
Sadly.
Harry Falk
