Congratulations to Patrick !
A look at the list of the 2020 recipients in Section IV (Humanities and Arts) reveals that it includes at least two other specialists of Indian and, more broadly, Asian Studies : Paul V. Kiparsky, from Stanford University, whom I do not
need to introduce to this audience, and Bernard Faure, from Columbia, a leading specialist of Chinese and Japanese Buddhism. Congratulations to them, too !
With kind regards,
