Andrea Acri is tenured Assistant Professor in Tantric Studies at the École Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE, PSL University) in Paris, France. His publications include the monograph Dharma P¿tañjala (2011), as well as various edited volumes, including Esoteric Buddhism in Mediaeval Maritime Asia (2016). His main research and teaching interests are ¿aiva and Buddhist Tantric traditions, Indian philosophy, Yoga studies, Sanskrit and Old Javanese philology, and the comparative religious history of South and Southeast Asia from the premodern to the contemporary period, with special emphasis on connected histories and intra-Asian maritime transfers. Paolo E. Rosati received his PhD in Asian and African Studies from 'Sapienza' University of Rome, Italy. He has published a double special issue on Tantra for Religions of South Asia (14/1-2) in 2020, and several contributions on the yoni cult at K¿m¿khy¿. His current research focuses on magic, memory, and cultural identity in postcolonial Tantric contexts.
