Hypatia of Alexandria Few primary documentary sources regarding Hypatia of Alexandria have survived, and no extant writings can be uncontestably attributed to her, yet two feminist journals and two lunar landmarks are named after her . Writers such as Edward Gibbon , Voltaire and Carl Sagan have told the storya beautiful, learned young woman living at a time when few men and even fewer women had achieved an advanced education was brutally murdered, cut down in the prime of her life by a fanatical mob. The local bishop, Cyril of Alexandria who may have instigated themor at the very least turned a blind eye to their crimeswas later made a saint. Her death is seen as the end of classical learning and free inquiry and the beginning of a dogmatic and often brutal new world order. Alexandria , where Hypatia was born and seems to have lived her entire life, was long considered a place of learning. Peter James and Nicholas Thorpe, in their book Ancient Inventions refer to the city as "the scientific center of the ancient Greek world." Here

To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond. Hypatia In the four hundred and fifteenth year of the Common Era, in the city of Alexandria, a tragedy occurred that, according to those who write history, was so insignificant it has barely rated a mention in even the most extensive of historical records. However, this event was not only tragic for the individuals involved, but has had far-reaching consequences for anyone who has ever valued the importance of intellectual freedom and scientific enquiry. Hypatia of Alexandria, a mathematician, was dragged from her carriage and savagely murdered by a Christian mob in 415CE. She is perhaps better remembered for how she died rather than the way in which she lived. However, Hypatia lived an extraordinary life as the pre-eminent mathematician, philosopher, astronomer and astrologer of her time.

Scholia Reviews ns 6 (1997) 6. Maria Dzielska (tr. F. Lyra), Hypatia of Alexandria . Cambridge (Mass.): Harvard University Press, 1995. ( Revealing Antiquity , 8). Pp. xi + 157. ISBN 0-674-43775-6. US$35.95 UKstlng23.95. Leonora Jackson University of Durban-Westville This is the first monograph available in English on Hypatia of Alexandria. It is also one of only a few scholarly books on this remarkable woman.[[1]] Dzielska sets out to research the life of Hypatia from the available sources and to clear away the cobwebs of centuries of biased and unreliable opinions on this famous philosopher and mathematician of Alexandria who was brutally murdered by Christians in A.D. 415. Suda , Damascius' Life of Isidore , and an epigram of (perhaps) the early fourth century poet Palladas ( Anth. Pal. 9.400) about a Hypatia, who is then often assumed to be this Hypatia (but the name was common and the dates probably wrong). Dzielska briefly discusses the use other modern scholarly works make of these sources. This book is an important monograph for anyone with an interest in the fourth and fifth century Alexandria, its social life, church history, neo-Platonism and mathematics. The book reads well and for this the translator must be congratulated. One minor irritation is having to refer to endnotes rather than footnotes. But Hypatia of Alexandria is a valuable addition to Bowersock's series Revealing Antiquity . Whether one agrees with Dzielska's conclusion that Hypatia was killed for political reasons or not, one should not ignore this book and its valuable contribution to the scholarship it has made available to the English reader.

Home About Us Articles Membership ... Site Map ATHEIST FOUNDATION OF AUSTRALIA INC HYPATIA A VICTIM OF BIGOTRY by Lee Holmes Hypatia of Alexandria was the daughter of Theon, himself a mathematician and philosopher of note. Hypatia was a remarkable woman with great intelligence, physical stamina and beauty. Her father gave her a first rate education, not limiting it to just mathematical subjects, but also religion. Theon believed in learning about all religions allowing each person to make their own choices and not have one view thrust upon them. To be forced to hold to another's view is in essence being robbed of your own life. Hypatia herself says, "Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fancies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child-mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after-years relieved of them. In fact, men will fight for a superstition quite as quickly as for a living truth - often more so, since a superstition is so intangible you can not get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, and so is changeable." In about 400 AD Hypatia became head of the Plotinus school of Alexandria, where she taught mathematics and philosophy. She wrote three books on science and mathematics and numerous other papers. All of her writings have been lost and it is only through the letters of Synesius of Cyrene, one of her pupils that we know anything of her thoughts.

HYPATIA OF ALEXANDRIA: Her Tragic Life Preface This page in WTM is a very unique one. It was written by a young lady with an extraordinary talent and interest in math. After you read it, I'm sure you'll agree with me. Hypatia of Alexandria By Lisa Gardner age 8 21 July 1999 I would like to introduce Hypatia, the daughter of Theon, a mathematician and the last 'head' of the important learning institution, the Museum of Alexandria. Hypatia was known for her striking beauty and her mastery of rhetoric, or giving speeches. Many important people came to listen to her, not just on mathematics, or astronomy, but also for her explanations of the philosophy taught by Plato and Plotinus. Her dad had supervised all her early education, but with her greater intelligence, she soon surpassed him, becoming the world's greatest mathematician and philosopher of her time. She chose to dedicate her life to learning, and chose not to marry. Anyway, with her extraordinary dignity and virtue many men still fell under her spell and at least one of her students was goofy enough to admit his love for her. She resorted to a very gross, and harsh lesson to make him stop making romantic advances towards her. ( Just another example where girls rule and boys drool There is some uncertainty in how long Hypatia lived, some historians think she was born in 370 AD, but more now believe it was around 355 AD. Then most think she died in 415, but there is some evidence that it was 416 AD. Even though there were several women in mathematics before Hypatia, she is considered the first significant one, because she was the associated with the most important learning institution in the Roman Empire, the Museum of Alexandria. She lived at a time when being an educated woman, a mathematician or a neoplatonist was dangerous, and because she was devoted at all times to ‘magic’ astrolabes and instruments of music, the Christians labeled her as a pagan and evil.

The Pope Julius II wanted that Raphael creates an intense intellectual stimulus in his personal library, the Stanza della Segnatura . Raphael created a group of frescos. One shows a virtual symposium at the "School of Athens" in Greece around the year 380 B.C. Here you find the pivotal axis of all Western philosophy. This virtual symposium unites the greatest thinkers from 800 B.C. until 1400 A.C. The most prominent persons are Platon, Aristotle, Socrates, Zoroaster, Pythagoras, Ptolemy and a young lady .

It was to be held over the wall, then the outlines of the future fresco were marked the either with rub-off-paint on the back or paint-marks through little holes. The cardboard was destroyed in this process. In this case, Raphaelo or a helper must have copied the draft. Collectors paid good money for them.

Hypatia resurrected an interest in Greek religion and goddesses. She came to embody the type of science and learning equated with pagan teachings, such as astrology and numerology, and was an ardent supporter of Greek thought and philosophy. During her career, she wrote several books and essays, including The Astronomical Canon . It is unclear whether she conducted her own mathematical research, but she furthered the efforts of established men in the field, her most extensive work being in algebra. In an environment that was turning increasingly Christian, Hypatia's sex was less controversial than her Paganism. Most scholars during her time converted from Paganism to Christianity in order to protect themselves against religious hostility. Hypatia refused and continued to teach Pagan beliefs, which made her a target for violence. She became the focal point in a series of riots between Christians and Pagans. The rioting increased, and Hypatia was murdered by radical Christian monks in 415, who stripped her of her clothes, scraped her flesh from her bones, tore off her limbs, and burned her mutilated body. The Pagan beliefs and scientific knowledge she espoused during her lifetime were ultimately threatening to the Christian church, and a few years after her death, the Museum of Alexandria was raided and all of her writings destroyed.

Biographies of W omen Mathematicians Home Alphabetical Index Chronological Index Resources ... Search Hypatia Written by Ginny Adair, Class of 1998 (Agnes Scott College) The life of Hypatia was one enriched with a passion for knowledge. Hypatia was the daughter of Theon, who was considered one of the most educated men in Alexandria, Egypt. Theon raised Hypatia in a world of education. Most historians now recognize Hypatia not only as a mathematician and scientist, but also as a philosopher. Historians are uncertain of different aspects of Hypatia's life. For example, Hypatia's date of birth is one that is highly debated. Some historians believe that Hypatia was born in the year 370 AD. On the other hand, others argue that she was an older woman (around 60) at the time of her death, thus making her birth in the year 355 AD. Throughout her childhood, Theon raised Hypatia in an environment of thought. Historians believe that Theon tried to raise the perfect human. Theon himself was a well known scholar and a professor of mathematics at the University of Alexandria. Theon and Hypatia formed a strong bond as he taught Hypatia his own knowledge and shared his passion in the search for answers to the unknown. As Hypatia grew older, she began to develop an enthusiasm for mathematics and the sciences (astronomy and astrology). Most historians believe that Hypatia surpassed her father's knowledge at a young age. However, while Hypatia was still under her father's discipline, he also developed for her a physical routine to ensure for her a healthy body as well as a highly functional mind. In her education, Theon instructed Hypatia on the different religions of the world and taught her how to influence people with the power of words. He taught her the fundamentals of teaching, so that Hypatia became a profound orator. People from other cities came to study and learn from her.

Daughter of Theon, the mathematician Hypatia got involved in power politics in ancient Alexandria which led to her murder. WHO IS inspired by a mummy case Papyrus Press Alexandria, March AD 415 - Christian and non-Christian students of Hypatia expressed shock and outrage when informed of their teacher's murder. Hypatia had been a popular, public lecturer in philosophy and mathematics. She was also a close advisor of Orestes, the Roman governor of Alexandria. He and other officials have called for a complete investigation of Hypatia's death. Hypatia is the most recent victim of the mob violence that has racked this city over the last 6 months. It began with an attack on Orestes by a group of fanatical Christian monks. The monks were enraged over rumors that Orestes had been making sacrifices to outlawed Pagan gods. Orestes escaped from the mob uninjured, but the monk Peter was arrested, put on trial, and executed. The ensuing controversy over Peter' s execution has developed into a serious rift between city hall and church leaders. Cyril, the Christian Bishop, held a press conference this morning. He denied that he ordered the attack on Hypatia. Meanwhile bands of monks continue to roam freely about the city.

And Why is Her Murderer A Saint? In Raphael's famous 1511 painting "The School of Athens", the greatest minds of the ancient world gather for debate. . . and in their midst stands a lone woman who would be purged from history books at the Church's command: Hypatia of Alexandria. "A really interesting novel, based in great detail on what happened during the 5th Century in Alexandria, Egypt. It foreshadowed the Dark Ages and involved the Church and religious fundamentalism at its height. It's really quite a story." Faith Middleton on NPR "A riveting character study and a haunting vision of an enlightened society on the brink of the Dark Ages." Yale Bookstore Author Series Brian Trent signs publishing deal with KungRee The Roman Empire is crumbling, the fragments of the classical world regrouping in Egypt when Thasos, son of an ill-fated scholar, meets Hypatia of Alexandria.

Dear Future People by Anne Nolting Dear Future People is a novel which describes the climax of the Hellenic Age in Egypt. Events follow historic accounts of the civil war between Rome and Constantinople, the destruction of the Temple of Serapis, the ethnic cleansing and massacre of Gothic youth, and a trip down the Nile to seek a prophesy for Emperor Theodosius. Hypatia, a woman, was destined to stand at the center of this time of political power struggle. In translation, quotes from the period are woven into the story. Hypatia was born in the later part of the Roman Empire, an era when women were not free to pursue careers. This was a time when orthodox belief effectively wiped out centuries of scientific discovery. Ancient Greek works were torched and scholars were murdered. Hypatia was the last proprietor of the Hellenic Age wonder, the Library of Alexandria. She is portrayed as a young adult facing the issues of a changing world. The reader will discover uncanny parallels to many current situations within the United States and, indeed, the world. Hypatia, a real, historically documented heroine, is a find for today's young adults who are searching for strong, non-fiction role models.
