Dear Colleagues,

Many of you will have heard the sad news that Professor Luciano Petech passed away in September. His erstwhile student, Elena de Rossi Filibeck, has been kind enough to compile a short obituary, which is attached to this message with a Tibetan translation by Tsering D. Gonkatsang. The obituary has also been posted on the website of the JIATS.

With all good wishes,

Charles Ramble
President, IATS

> I managed to outwit the university space police for a number of years.
> Recently they caught up with me. I have now vacated my university office,
> and thus am faced with a need to reduce further the size of my library.
>
> I have given the students and faculty of my department as well as other
> friends in the business a chance to pick over the books, and have given
> some to the University of Arizona and more to the University of Hawaii,
> but I still have perhaps two hundred or so volumes in English, Chinese,
> and a few in Japanese that I would like to get into the hands of people
> who would value and use them.
>
> So, as part of the downsizing my library I have created a list of
> books in English, Chinese and Japanese that I will send as an email
> attachment to any individual who contacts me privately at:

> ************************************************************************
> From: Jean DeBernardi <jean.debernardi@ualberta.ca>
>
> Dr. Marjorie Topley (b. 1927) passed away on December 16, 2010, at her
> home in Battle, East Sussex, England. Topley had the distinction of
> being the first undergraduate student to study anthropology at the
> London School of Economics. She met her husband, Kenneth Wallis
> Joseph Topley, at the LSE, where he was studying government. He joined
> the colonial service, and in 1951 they went to Singapore after
> studying Chinese in London.
>
> In Singapore, Marjorie took a post as curator of anthropology at the
> Raffles Museum. Because the Malayan Emergency made travel in the
> Malay Peninsula unsafe, she undertook research on Cantonese immigrant
> women's vegetarian halls and Chinese popular religion in Singapore.
> This research formed the basis of her 1958 doctoral thesis (entitled
> The Organisation and Social Function of Chinese Women's Chai T'ang in
> Singapore), which she completed as an external student with informal
> supervision from Maurice Freedman. Regrettably, the thesis was never
> published as a book.
>
> In 1955, the Topleys moved to Hong Kong, where Kenneth Topley
> continued his career in colonial administration, including serving as
> Director of Education. Although she did not take up a fulltime
> teaching position, Marjorie maintained an active program of
> anthropological research, participating in invited international
> conferences and publishing her work in major scholarly journals and
> edited volumes. She also played a major role in the revival of the
> Hong Kong Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, serving as the group's
> Vice-President from 1966 to 1972, and as its President from 1972 until
> her return to England in 1983.
>
> With support from the Royal Asiatic Society, Hong Kong University
> Press and NUS Press have collaborated to publish a complete collection
> of her papers, _Cantonese Society in Hong Kong and Singapore: Gender,
> Religion, Medicine and Money: Essays by Marjorie Topley_, edited and
> introduced by Jean DeBernardi. The book is forthcoming in January
> 2011 (ISBN 978-988-8028-14-6).
