Death of Bruno Dagens
Strasbourg, France, 17 September 2023
It is with great sorrow that
we have learned the passing of Professor Bruno Dagens on September 17, 2023. He was a member of the EFEO from 1969 to 1986. A renowned specialist in India and Cambodia, many of us followed his teaching of the history of Cambodian art at the Sorbonne-Nouvelle University (Paris-III). Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
