Many thanks to Wolfgang Behr for calling this publication to our attention via X and to Christoph Harbsmeier for making it readily available on academia.edu.
I personally am particularly delighted to learn of this rich tribute to M. V. Sofronov because it constitutes an affirmation and validation for the hard work of my student, Nikita Kuzmin, who recently earned his Ph.D. in Tangut Studies and who has begun teaching it.

<Not a serious comment/question>Is the paucity of comments in this thread due primarily to readers seeing "Tautologists" (as I do) where "Tangutologists" is what is actually written ?</Not a serious comment/question>
