Fwd: [INDOLOGY] Professor A.K. Warder

This is, dear colleagues, a sad news indeed.

Professor Anthony Kennedy Warder was and will certainly remain a canonical
name for the student of Pali, Sanskrit, Buddhism and Indian religions.

Dear colleagues,
It is my painful task to convey the message that Professor A.K. Warder has
passed away. We all know his extensive contribution to Indological
scholarship such as his monumental 8-volume study of *Indian Kāvya
Literature* (Motilal Banarsidass, 1972-2011), his well known *Indian
Buddhism* (1st pub. 1970; 3rd revised edition, Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass,
2000), as well as his other books on Buddhism, Indian philosophy and Indian
literature, not to mention his first two books *Pali Metre: A Contribution
to the History of Indian Literature* (Pali Text Society, 1967) and
*Introduction
to Pali* (Pali Text Society, 1963; 3rd revised edition, 2005).

  A funeral service for him and for his wife Nargez will take place at 11
a.m. on Friday 15 February 2013, at Turner & Porter Funeral Home, 2357
Bloor Street, West, Toronto (viewing from 10.00 a.m.); with interment
afterwards at St. John's Dixie Cemetery, 737 Dundas Street East,
Mississauga, Ontario.
