A TRIBUTE TO LUCIANO PETECH
Thursday 25 – Friday 26 July
Coordinator: Cristina Scherrer-Schaub
For an obituary of Luciano Petech by Elena De Rossi Filibeck, with a link to a Tibetan translation by Tsering Dhondup Gonkatsang, click here.
Luciano Petech was a prodigious talent in an impressive number of Ancient and Modern Asian and European Languages. His contributions to the study of Tibetan history brought to light the extent of Tibet’s encounters with various societies, as well as the importance of regional Tibetan histories.
Based on a critical analysis of secular and religious archival documents, enriched with a vast and varied range of Tibetan, Chinese, Indian and Arabic historiographical sources, Luciano Petech’s legacy is caracterised by a combination of rigour and openness.
As a respectful tribute to his oeuvre, the Memorial Session will gather scholars working on original sources, both from the point of view of their materiality, and also as markers of Tibetan history beyond or without boundaries.
