Matt,
I did know about the Ranchan but haven't located a copy. (Actually, way
back in the Middle Ages I took a class from him on JDS, though at that time
he hadn't written the book. That was my one and only exposure to the
subject matter.) Never heard of the Kurian: good to know. Isn't there
some dissertation on this subject by I believe an Indian woman? (I think
Alsen in his unsatisfactory volume mentioned her.)
And a belated thanks: I appreciated your response--"Advices"--to my manic
posts in January.
Glad you are back.
