This is sad news, indeed. Though I had never met him and did not ask him to, Prof. Wezler gave my dissertation a close read and provided me learned and supportive comments throughout. I will always be grateful to him.

He also had a delightful sense of humour, and as no doubt many others, I did experience his warm and impressive personality, in Harunaga's apt words, as well as his great kindness to young researchers.

As my teacher in Hamburg, he had a significant impact on my academic journey, imparting invaluable knowledge with his profound expertise and meticulous philological attention to detail. He played a crucial role in opening doors to various career opportunities for me. It is thanks to him that I had the opportunity to come to Nepal and lead the Nepal-German Manuscript Preservation Project (NGMPP), where I could combine my passion for textual studies with field research. I am particularly grateful to Albrecht Wezler for his remarkable openness to different approaches to Indian culture and history. His generosity in embracing alternative perspectives has left a lasting impression on me. I will always cherish the memories of his mischievous sense of humor and his genuine care and warmth in numerous aspects of our interactions. My thoughts are with his family, friends, and all those who were fortunate enough to know him.
