SO SORRY to hear this sad news. I had numerous contacts with Albrecht; he visited Austin several times, and once stayed at our house. One can truly say that he may have forgotten more things than I every knew. He read my entire translation of the Arthaśāstra and made comments and critique almost at every sūtra, and commented on my Manu edition and translation as it was being developed. I am eternally grateful to Albrecht for his generous help. Rest in peace.

With sorrow I inform the list-members that Albrecht Wezler, Emeritus Professor
of classical Indology, Universität Hamburg, passed away last month.

Prof. Wezler was never active on this list; but many
listmembers will still have met him and experienced his warm
and impressive personality; others will have encountered his
publications, covering with incisive intelligence a vast range of areas
within (mainly) Sanskrit studies.
