The French Sanskritist and Orientalist Léon Feer studied Buddhist accounts of eclipses, including the legend of Rāhu according to Hindu and Buddhist texts. He translated Daniel John Gogerly’s English translation of the Candimasutta into French and produced his own French translations of Toh 42 and Toh 331. His notes are detailed and rich in explanations. He also finalized and published the unfinished work of Paul Grimblot on some paritta texts, presenting the Pali equivalent to Toh 42, excerpts of its commentary in the Aṭṭhakathā, and its translation into French.¹⁷
