Dear Peter,

I am extremely sorry to read this.

This is a great loss to Indology and to Sanskrit and Ayurvedic Studies, as is clear from the link you have provided.

It was a privilege to work with him on several occasions and in the context of eJIM.

We especially remember his participation in the seminar Āyurveda in post-classical and pre-colonial India

organized at IIAS, Leiden, in 2009, where he presented his work on the Hikmatprakasa, work in Sanskrit on Yunani medicine (see publication list).

Condolences to his family.

Dear Colleagues,

It is with great sadness that I inform you that Gerrit Jan Meulenbeld passed away on March 26th at the age of 88. The cremation will take place in Groningen this Friday.

Jan Meulenbeld was one of the great Dutch Indologists of his generation. His monumental 5-volume A History of Indian Medical Literature (1999-2002) stands as lasting testimony of his profound work on the history of Āyurveda.

A list of his publications may be found here: https://www.dutchstudies-satsea.nl/deelnemers/meulenbeld-gerrit-jan/
