Dear Friends, 
The proceedings of a recent (online) Conference on Vedic Philology (2nd and 3rd May 2023) in honour of Prof. G.U. Thite being under preparation, brief video-clips of the presentations are available on YouTube, as you may have seen. 
My presentation on A. Bergaigne and on J. Gonda (on A. Bergaigne, and his reception among European scholars, including, notably and perhaps unexpectedly, J. Gonda) I have slightly edited and enriched with pictures and selected bibliographic information: this is now available on the vimeo channel SanskritStudies.
