>
> Dear List Members,
>
> I write with the sad news that Ian Proudfoot, of the Australian National
> University in Canberra, passed away on 23 September 2012.
>
> Ian was one of the greatest scholars of the Islamic world of Southeast
> Asia and especially of early Muslim printing, who transformed the world
> of Malay studies with his visionary online resources. Foremost is the
> Malay Concordance Project, a corpus of pre-modern Malay texts, now
> comprising over 140 texts and 5.7 million words, including 120,000
> verses, which can be searched in ways that throw light on meanings and
> contexts, morphological patterns, and changing usage over time:
> http://mcp.anu.edu.au/Q/mcp.html
> while his Catalogue of Early Malay Printed Books (1993) is also
> available online, with updates and revisions:
> http://mcp.anu.edu.au/proudfoot/EMPB/web/1280.html
>
> What may be of particular interest to H-ISLAMART List Members is Ian's
> invention of a macro called AHAD which can be used in Microsoft Word,
> for transforming AH dates to AD dates and vice versa. You simply select
> the date within a Word document and click the macro tool button, and the
> required date is pasted into your document - it has transformed the way
> I work. The AHAD macro is freely downloadable, with installation
> instructions, from Ian Proudfoot's web page of online resources, under
> the heading 'Calendars':
> http://mcp.anu.edu.au/proudfoot/online.html
>
> The macro can deal with year only; month and year; or date, month and
> year; and 'intelligently' recognizes a wide range of transliterations of
> Arabic month names.
