H.W. Bodewitz, Professor of Sanskrit at Utrecht University from 1976 to 1992, and at Leiden University from 1992 to 2002, will celebratehis 65th birthday on 13 October 2004. It seems appropriate to note this day in the Indo-Iranian Journal, for which he acted as editor from 1991 (Vol. 34) up to 2002 (Vol. 45), when he retired from his chair at Leiden University. As a small token of appreciation for our teacher, we offer here a complete list of his books, articles, reviews, and obituaries, published from 1969 to the present

Professor Jan Gonda died in Utrecht on 28 July 1991 at the age of eighty-six. He was one of the world's foremost scholars in both Old Indian and Indonesian studies. His successor to the Utrecht chair of Sanskrit, Dr. Henk Bodewitz, in the Indo-lranian Joumal (34, 1991, pp. 28 1-286) as well as in the Yearbook of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen, Jaarboek 1991, forthcoming), has especially commemorated him as a scholar in the Indian field. This In Memoriam wil1 be devoted mainly, though not exclusively, to Gonda as a scholar in the field of Indonesian languages and literature.
