Dear  Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that we have just updated
our material on the Oxford Research Archive relating to the development and spread of the Rāma narrative (pre-modern) — first deposited in January last year — so that it can be available for others to consult even in its present, unfinished state.  It can be accessed at the same location <http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:8df9647a-8002-45ff-b37e-7effb669768b> or you can find it via the Bodleian Libraries website, under ORA, by looking for its title, "Development and spread of the Rāma narrative (pre-modern)".

Because of the nature of our own contacts this message is being sent primarily to other Indologists but, if any of you are aware of colleagues in other fields (for example Southeast Asian languages or visual culture) who might be interested, do please pass the information on to them – and similarly, if anyone has access to academic lists on which it could be posted, we would be grateful for its being sent to them.

With all good wishes

John and Mary
