I am delighted to announce that a new publication in the peer-reviewed, open-access series Studies on the History of Śaivism is finally available online:

Den Boer, Lucas, and Florinda De Simini (eds). 2025. Śaiva-Buddhist Encounters in Medieval India. Studies on the History of Śaivism 5. Napoli: Unior Press.

A PDF of the book can be downloaded from the following link:

(try to paste the link in a browser if not immediately re-directed)

Hardbound copies are currently being printed. While a proper distribution system is not yet in place (though I am working on it and expect it to be operational by the time the next volume appears), you are welcome to order a copy by writing to livia.mariano@gianninispa.it and copying me on the email, starting next month.

Alternatively, if you happen to be in Naples, please let me know and I would be happy to hand you a copy in person.

Yours sincerely,

Florinda
