From Russia comes news of the death of the distinguished Islamic codicologist
and bibliographer Anas Khalidov:-
====================
Prof. Anas Khalidov died suddenly in Kazan on December 1, at 5 a.m. During
some months he had some health problems, but nobody thought that
they were so serious. His death is a great loss for all of us and especially
for Arabic Philology in Russia.
His home phone number at St. Petersburg is: +7-812-224-55-85. The
condolences may be sent to the fax of our Institute:
+7-812-312-14-65
or to its e-mail: [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>
I don't know for the moment where the funeral ceremony will take place: in
Kazan or in St. Petersburg.
Please inform about this sorrowful notice all your and his colleagues in
Western countries.
He was one of my Teachers and I am now in profound regret.
Inna li-llāhi wa-ilayhi rādji'ūna,
Serge Frantsouzoff
