Should you not know Timpanaro's work as a philologist and a thinker, Perry Anderson (of all people) wrote about him twice: https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v23/n09/perry-anderson/on-sebastiano-timpanaro and https://newleftreview.org/issues/ii129/articles/perry-anderson-timpanaro-among-the-anglo-saxons.html.

Glenn W. Most's introduction to his translation and edition of The Genesis of Lachmann's Method (Chicago Univ. Press, 2006), sadly out of print, is also excellent: Part I - https://www.academia.edu/29095364/Most_Timpanaro_Lachmann_Part_1 & Part II - https://www.academia.edu/29095405/Most_Timpanaro_Lachmann_Part_2_pdf.

@versobooks.bsky.social also has two of Timpanaro's works in translation: https://www.versobooks.com/products/1051-freudian-slip and https://www.versobooks.com/products/1036-on-materialism.

The work on Lachmann, though, might be Timpanaro's masterpiece in some ways (apart from the work on Leopardi): cf. https://archive.org/details/genesisoflachman0000timp. #philology #bookhistory

For @spoerhase.bsky.social, @marcellepper.bsky.social, @pbahners.bsky.social (perhaps to compare with Schöne), @madmcmahon.bsky.social, and other #skystorians.
