HypatiaШаблон:Efn (born Шаблон:Circa 350–370; died 415 AD)[1][2] was a Neoplatonist philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, then part of the Eastern Roman Empire. She was a prominent thinker in Alexandria where she taught philosophy and astronomy.[3] Although preceded by Pandrosion, another Alexandrine female mathematician,[4] she is the first female mathematician whose life is reasonably well recorded.Шаблон:Sfn Hypatia was renowned in her own lifetime as a great teacher and a wise counselor. She wrote a commentary on Diophantus's thirteen-volume Arithmetica, which may survive in part, having been interpolated into Diophantus's original text, and another commentary on Apollonius of Perga's treatise on conic sections, which has not survived. Many modern scholars also believe that Hypatia may have edited the surviving text of Ptolemy's Almagest, based on the title of her father Theon's commentary on Book III of the Almagest.

Hypatia constructed astrolabes and hydrometers, but did not invent either of these, which were both in use long before she was born. She was tolerant towards Christians and taught many Christian students, including Synesius, the future bishop of Ptolemais. Ancient sources record that Hypatia was widely beloved by pagans and Christians alike and that she established great influence with the political elite in Alexandria. Towards the end of her life, Hypatia advised Orestes, the Roman prefect of Alexandria, who was in the midst of a political feud with Cyril, the bishop of Alexandria. Rumors spread accusing her of preventing Orestes from reconciling with Cyril and, in March 415 AD, she was murdered by a mob of Christians led by a lector named Peter.[5]Шаблон:Sfn

Hypatia's murder shocked the empire and transformed her into a "martyr for philosophy", leading future Neoplatonists such as the historian Damascius (Шаблон:Circa) to become increasingly fervent in their opposition to Christianity. During the Middle Ages, Hypatia was co-opted as a symbol of Christian virtue and scholars believe she was part of the basis for the legend of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. During the Age of Enlightenment, she became a symbol of opposition to Catholicism. In the nineteenth century, European literature, especially Charles Kingsley's 1853 novel Hypatia, romanticized her as "the last of the Hellenes". In the twentieth century, Hypatia became seen as an icon for women's rights and a precursor to the feminist movement. Since the late twentieth century, some portrayals have associated Hypatia's death with the destruction of the Library of Alexandria, despite the historical fact that the library no longer existed during Hypatia's lifetime.Шаблон:Sfn

Life

Upbringing

Файл:Euclid Vat ms no 190 I prop 47.jpg
Hypatia's father Theon of Alexandria is best known for having edited the existing text of Euclid's Elements,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn shown here in a ninth-century manuscript

Hypatia was the daughter of the mathematician Theon of Alexandria (Шаблон:Circa).[6]Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn According to classical historian Edward J. Watts, Theon was the head of a school called the "Mouseion", which was named in emulation of the Hellenistic Mouseion,Шаблон:Sfn whose membership had ceased in the 260s AD.Шаблон:Sfn Theon's school was exclusive, highly prestigious, and doctrinally conservative. Theon rejected the teachings of Iamblichus and may have taken pride in teaching a pure, Plotinian Neoplatonism.Шаблон:Sfn Although he was widely seen as a great mathematician at the time,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Theon's mathematical work has been deemed by modern standards as essentially "minor",Шаблон:Sfn "trivial",Шаблон:Sfn and "completely unoriginal".Шаблон:Sfn His primary achievement was the production of a new edition of Euclid's Elements, in which he corrected scribal errors that had been made over the course of nearly 700 years of copying.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Theon's edition of Euclid's Elements became the most widely used edition of the textbook for centuriesШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn and almost totally supplanted all other editions.Шаблон:Sfn

Nothing is known about Hypatia's mother, who is never mentioned in any of the extant sources.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Theon dedicates his commentary on Book IV of Ptolemy's Almagest to an individual named Epiphanius, addressing him as "my dear son",Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn indicating that he may have been Hypatia's brother,Шаблон:Sfn but the Greek word Theon uses (teknon) does not always mean "son" in the biological sense and was often used merely to signal strong feelings of paternal connection.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Hypatia's exact year of birth is still under debate, with suggested dates ranging from 350 to 370 AD.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Many scholars have followed Richard Hoche in inferring that Hypatia was born around 370. According to Damascius's lost work Life of Isidore, preserved in the entry for Hypatia in the Suda, a tenth-century Byzantine encyclopedia, Hypatia flourished during the reign of Arcadius. Hoche reasoned that Damascius's description of her physical beauty would imply that she was at most 30 at that time, and the year 370 was 30 years prior to the midpoint of Arcadius's reign.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In contrast, theories that she was born as early as 350 are based on the wording of the chronicler John Malalas (c. 491 – 578), who calls her old at the time of her death in 415.Шаблон:Sfn[7] Robert Penella argues that both theories are weakly based, and that her birth date should be left unspecified.Шаблон:Sfn

Career

Hypatia was a Neoplatonist, but, like her father, she rejected the teachings of Iamblichus and instead embraced the original Neoplatonism formulated by Plotinus.Шаблон:Sfn The Alexandrian school was renowned at the time for its philosophy, and Alexandria was regarded as second only to Athens as the philosophical capital of the Greco-Roman world.Шаблон:Sfn Hypatia taught students from all over the Mediterranean.Шаблон:Sfn According to Damascius, she lectured on the writings of Plato and Aristotle.[8][9]Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn He also states that she walked through Alexandria in a tribon, a kind of cloak associated with philosophers, giving impromptu public lectures.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

According to Watts, two main varieties of Neoplatonism were taught in Alexandria during the late fourth century. The first was the overtly pagan religious Neoplatonism taught at the Serapeum, which was greatly influenced by the teachings of Iamblichus.Шаблон:Sfn The second variety was the more moderate and less polemical variety championed by Hypatia and her father Theon, which was based on the teachings of Plotinus.Шаблон:Sfn Although Hypatia herself was a pagan, she was tolerant of Christians.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In fact, every one of her known students was Christian.Шаблон:Sfn One of her most prominent pupils was Synesius of Cyrene,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn who went on to become a bishop of Ptolemais (now in eastern Libya) in 410.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Afterward, he continued to exchange letters with HypatiaШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn and his extant letters are the main sources of information about her career.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Seven letters by Synesius to Hypatia have survived,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn but none from her addressed to him are extant.Шаблон:Sfn In a letter written in around 395 to his friend Herculianus, Synesius describes Hypatia as "... a person so renowned, her reputation seemed literally incredible. We have seen and heard for ourselves she who honorably presides over the mysteries of philosophy."Шаблон:Sfn Synesius preserves the legacy of Hypatia's opinions and teachings, such as the pursuit of "the philosophical state of apatheiaШаблон:Mdashcomplete liberation from emotions and affections".Шаблон:Sfn

The Christian historian Socrates of Constantinople, a contemporary of Hypatia, describes her in his Ecclesiastical History:Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:Blockquote

Philostorgius, another Christian historian, who was also a contemporary of Hypatia, states that she excelled her father in mathematicsШаблон:Sfn and the lexicographer Hesychius of Alexandria records that, like her father, she was also an extraordinarily talented astronomer.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Damascius writes that Hypatia was "exceedingly beautiful and fair of form",Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn but nothing else is known regarding her physical appearanceШаблон:Sfn and no ancient depictions of her have survived.Шаблон:Sfn Damascius states that Hypatia remained a lifelong virginШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn and that, when one of the men who came to her lectures tried to court her, she tried to soothe his lust by playing the lyre.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Efn When he refused to abandon his pursuit, she rejected him outright,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn displaying her bloody menstrual rags and declaring "This is what you really love, my young man, but you do not love beauty for its own sake."[9]Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Damascius further relates that the young man was so traumatized that he abandoned his desires for her immediately.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Death

Background

Файл:Alexandrian World Chronicle - 6v.jpg
Drawing from the Alexandrian World Chronicle depicting Pope Theophilus of Alexandria, gospel in hand, standing triumphantly atop the Serapeum in 391 ADШаблон:Sfn

From 382 – 412, the bishop of Alexandria was Theophilus.Шаблон:Sfn Theophilus was militantly opposed to Iamblichean NeoplatonismШаблон:Sfn and, in 391, he demolished the Serapeum.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Despite this, Theophilus tolerated Hypatia's school and seems to have regarded Hypatia as his ally.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Theophilus supported the bishopric of Hypatia's pupil Synesius,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn who describes Theophilus in his letters with love and admiration.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Theophilus also permitted Hypatia herself to establish close relationships with the Roman prefects and other prominent political leaders.Шаблон:Sfn Partly as a result of Theophilus's tolerance, Hypatia became extremely popular with the people of Alexandria and exerted profound political influence.Шаблон:Sfn

Theophilus died unexpectedly in 412.Шаблон:Sfn He had been training his nephew Cyril, but had not officially named him as his successor.Шаблон:Sfn A violent power struggle over the diocese broke out between Cyril and his rival Timothy. Cyril won and immediately began to punish those who had supported Timothy; he closed the churches of the Novatianists, who had supported Timothy, and confiscated their property.Шаблон:Sfn Hypatia's school seems to have immediately taken a strong distrust towards the new bishop,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn as evidenced by the fact that, in all his vast correspondences, Synesius only ever wrote one letter to Cyril, in which he treats the younger bishop as inexperienced and misguided.Шаблон:Sfn In a letter written to Hypatia in 413, Synesius requests her to intercede on behalf of two individuals impacted by the ongoing civil strife in Alexandria,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn insisting, "You always have power, and you can bring about good by using that power."Шаблон:Sfn He also reminds her that she had taught him that a Neoplatonic philosopher must introduce the highest moral standards to political life and act for the benefit of their fellow citizens.Шаблон:Sfn

According to Socrates Scholasticus, in 414, following an exchange of hostilities and a Jewish-led massacre, Cyril closed all the synagogues in Alexandria, confiscated all the property belonging to the Jews, and expelled a number of Jews from the city; Scholasticus suggests all the Jews were expelled, while John of Nikiu notes it was only those involved in the massacre.[10][11]Шаблон:Sfn Orestes, the Roman prefect of Alexandria, who was also a close friend of HypatiaШаблон:Sfn and a recent convert to Christianity,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn was outraged by Cyril's actions and sent a scathing report to the emperor.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The conflict escalated and a riot broke out in which the parabalani, a group of Christian clerics under Cyril's authority, nearly killed Orestes.Шаблон:Sfn As punishment, Orestes had Ammonius, the monk who had started the riot, publicly tortured to death.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Cyril tried to proclaim Ammonius a martyr,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn but Christians in Alexandria were disgusted,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn since Ammonius had been killed for inciting a riot and attempting to murder the governor, not for his faith.Шаблон:Sfn Prominent Alexandrian Christians intervened and forced Cyril to drop the matter.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Nonetheless, Cyril's feud with Orestes continued.Шаблон:Sfn Orestes frequently consulted Hypatia for adviceШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn because she was well-liked among both pagans and Christians alike, she had not been involved in any previous stages of the conflict, and she had an impeccable reputation as a wise counselor.Шаблон:Sfn

Despite Hypatia's popularity, Cyril and his allies attempted to discredit her and undermine her reputation.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Socrates Scholasticus mentions rumors accusing Hypatia of preventing Orestes from reconciling with Cyril.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Traces of other rumors that spread among the Christian populace of Alexandria may be found in the writings of the seventh-century Egyptian Coptic bishop John of Nikiû,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn who alleges in his Chronicle that Hypatia had engaged in satanic practices and had intentionally hampered the church's influence over Orestes:Шаблон:Sfn[12][13][14]

And in those days there appeared in Alexandria a female philosopher, a pagan named Hypatia, and she was devoted at all times to magic, astrolabes and instruments of music, and she beguiled many people through her Satanic wiles. And the governor of the city honoured her exceedingly; for she had beguiled him through her magic. And he ceased attending church as had been his custom... And he not only did this, but he drew many believers to her, and he himself received the unbelievers at his house.[12]

Murder

According to Socrates Scholasticus, during the Christian season of Lent in March 415, a mob of Christians under the leadership of a lector named Peter, raided Hypatia's carriage as she was travelling home.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn They dragged her into a building known as the Kaisarion, a former pagan temple and center of the Roman imperial cult in Alexandria that had been converted into a Christian church.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn There, the mob stripped Hypatia naked and murdered her using ostraka,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn which can either be translated as "roof tiles", "oyster shells" or simply "shards".Шаблон:Sfn Damascius adds that they also cut out her eyeballs.Шаблон:Sfn They tore her body into pieces and dragged her limbs through the town to a place called Cinarion, where they set them on fire.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn According to Watts, this was in line with the traditional manner in which Alexandrians carried the bodies of the "vilest criminals" outside the city limits to cremate them as a way of symbolically purifying the city.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Although Socrates Scholasticus never explicitly identifies Hypatia's murderers, they are commonly assumed to have been members of the parabalani.Шаблон:Sfn Christopher Haas disputes this identification, arguing that the murderers were more likely "a crowd of Alexandrian laymen".Шаблон:Sfn

Socrates Scholasticus presents Hypatia's murder as entirely politically motivated and makes no mention of any role that Hypatia's paganism might have played in her death.Шаблон:Sfn Instead, he reasons that "she fell a victim to the political jealousy which at that time prevailed. For as she had frequent interviews with Orestes, it was calumniously reported among the Christian populace that it was she who prevented Orestes from being reconciled to the bishop."Шаблон:Sfn[15] Socrates Scholasticus unequivocally condemns the actions of the mob, declaring, "Surely nothing can be farther from the spirit of Christianity than the allowance of massacres, fights, and transactions of that sort."Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

The Canadian mathematician Ari Belenkiy has argued that Hypatia may have been involved in a controversy over the date of the Christian holiday of Easter 417 and that she was killed on the vernal equinox while making astronomical observations.Шаблон:Sfn Classical scholars Alan Cameron and Edward J. Watts both dismiss this hypothesis, noting that there is absolutely no evidence in any ancient text to support any part of the hypothesis.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Aftermath

Hypatia's death sent shockwaves throughout the empire;Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn for centuries, philosophers had been seen as effectively untouchable during the displays of public violence that sometimes occurred in Roman cities and the murder of a female philosopher at the hand of a mob was seen as "profoundly dangerous and destabilizing".Шаблон:Sfn Although no concrete evidence was ever discovered definitively linking Cyril to the murder of Hypatia,Шаблон:Sfn it was widely believed that he had ordered it.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Even if Cyril had not directly ordered the murder himself, his smear campaign against Hypatia had inspired it. The Alexandrian council was alarmed at Cyril's conduct and sent an embassy to Constantinople.Шаблон:Sfn The advisors of Theodosius II launched an investigation to determine Cyril's role in the murder.Шаблон:Sfn

The investigation resulted in the emperors Honorius and Theodosius II issuing an edict in autumn of 416, which attempted to remove the parabalani from Cyril's power and instead place them under the authority of Orestes.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The edict restricted the parabalani from attending "any public spectacle whatever" or entering "the meeting place of a municipal council or a courtroom."Шаблон:Sfn It also severely restricted their recruitment by limiting the total number of parabalani to no more than five hundred.Шаблон:Sfn According to Damascius, Cyril himself allegedly only managed to escape even more serious punishment by bribing one of Theodosius's officials.Шаблон:Sfn Watts argues that Hypatia's murder was the turning point in Cyril's fight to gain political control of Alexandria.Шаблон:Sfn Hypatia had been the linchpin holding Orestes's opposition against Cyril together, and, without her, the opposition quickly collapsed.Шаблон:Sfn Two years later, Cyril overturned the law placing the parabalani under Orestes's control and, by the early 420s, Cyril had come to dominate the Alexandrian council.Шаблон:Sfn

Works

Hypatia has been described as a universal genius,[16] but she was probably more of a teacher and commentator than an innovator.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn No evidence has been found that Hypatia ever published any independent works on philosophyШаблон:Sfn and she does not appear to have made any groundbreaking mathematical discoveries.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn During Hypatia's time period, scholars preserved classical mathematical works and commented on them to develop their arguments, rather than publishing original works.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn It has also been suggested that the closure of the Mouseion and the destruction of the Serapeum may have led Hypatia and her father to focus their efforts on preserving seminal mathematical books and making them accessible to their students.Шаблон:Sfn The Suda mistakenly states that all of Hypatia's writings have been lost,Шаблон:Sfn but modern scholarship has identified several works by her as extant.Шаблон:Sfn This kind of authorial uncertainty is typical of female philosophers from antiquity.Шаблон:Sfn Hypatia wrote in Greek, which was the language spoken by most educated people in the Eastern Mediterranean at the time.Шаблон:Sfn In classical antiquity, astronomy was seen as being essentially mathematical in character.Шаблон:Sfn Furthermore, no distinction was made between mathematics and numerology or astronomy and astrology.Шаблон:Sfn

Edition of the Almagest

Файл:Ptolemaicsystem-small.png
Hypatia is known to have edited at least Book III of Ptolemy's Almagest,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn which supported the geocentric model of the universe shown in this diagram.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Hypatia is now known to have edited the existing text of Book III of Ptolemy's Almagest.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn It was once thought that Hypatia had merely revised Theon's commentary on the Almagest,Шаблон:Sfn based on the title of Theon's commentary on the third book of Almagest, which reads "Commentary by Theon of Alexandria on Book III of Ptolemy's Almagest, edition revised by my daughter Hypatia, the philosopher",Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn but, based on analysis of the titles of Theon's other commentaries and similar titles from the time period, scholars have concluded that Hypatia corrected, not her father's commentary, but the text of Almagest itself.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Her contribution is thought to be an improved method for the long division algorithms needed for astronomical computation. The Ptolemaic model of the universe was geocentric, meaning it taught that the Sun revolved around the Earth. In the Almagest, Ptolemy proposed a division problem for calculating the number of degrees swept out by the Sun in a single day as it orbits the Earth. In his early commentary, Theon had tried to improve upon Ptolemy's division calculation. In the text edited by Hypatia, a tabular method is detailed.Шаблон:Sfn This tabular method might be the "astronomical table" which historic sources attribute to Hypatia.Шаблон:Sfn Classicist Alan Cameron additionally states that it is possible Hypatia may have edited, not only Book III, but all nine extant books of the Almagest.Шаблон:Sfn

Independent writings

Файл:Conic Sections.svg
Hypatia wrote a commentary on Apollonius of Perga's treatise on conic sections,[9]Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn but this commentary is no longer extant.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Hypatia wrote a commentary on Diophantus's thirteen-volume Arithmetica, which had been written sometime around the year 250 AD.Шаблон:Sfn[9]Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn It set out more than 100 mathematical problems, for which solutions are proposed using algebra.Шаблон:Sfn For centuries, scholars believed that this commentary had been lost.Шаблон:Sfn Only volumes one through six of the Arithmetica have survived in the original Greek,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn but at least four additional volumes have been preserved in an Arabic translation produced around the year 860.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The Arabic text contains numerous expansions not found in the Greek text,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn including verifications of Diophantus's examples and additional problems.Шаблон:Sfn

Cameron states that the most likely source of the additional material is Hypatia herself, since Hypatia is the only ancient writer known to have written a commentary on the Arithmetica and the additions appear to follow the same methods used by her father Theon.Шаблон:Sfn The first person to deduce that the additional material in the Arabic manuscripts came from Hypatia was the nineteenth-century scholar Paul Tannery.Шаблон:Sfn[17] In 1885, Sir Thomas Heath published the first English translation of the surviving portion of the Arithmetica. Heath argued that surviving text of Arithmetica is actually a school edition produced by Hypatia to aid her students.Шаблон:Sfn According to Mary Ellen Waithe, Hypatia used an unusual algorithm for division (in the then-standard sexagesimal numeral system), making it easy for scholars to pick out which parts of the text she had written.Шаблон:Sfn

The consensus that Hypatia's commentary is the source of the additional material in the Arabic manuscripts of the Arithmetica has been challenged by Wilbur Knorr, a historian of mathematics, who argues that the interpolations are "of such low level as not to require any real mathematical insight" and that the author of the interpolations can only have been "an essentially trivial mind... in direct conflict with ancient testimonies of Hypatia's high caliber as a philosopher and mathematician."Шаблон:Sfn Cameron rejects this argument, noting that "Theon too enjoyed a high reputation, yet his surviving work has been judged 'completely unoriginal.'"Шаблон:Sfn Cameron also insists that "Hypatia's work on Diophantus was what we today might call a school edition, designed for the use of students rather than professional mathematicians."Шаблон:Sfn

Hypatia also wrote a commentary on Apollonius of Perga's work on conic sections,[9]Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn but this commentary is no longer extant.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn She also created an "Astronomical Canon";[9] this is believed to have been either a new edition of the Handy Tables by the Alexandrian Ptolemy or the aforementioned commentary on his Almagest.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn[18] Based on a close reading in comparison with her supposed contributions to the work of Diophantus, Knorr suggests that Hypatia may also have edited Archimedes' Measurement of a Circle, an anonymous text on isometric figures, and a text later used by John of Tynemouth in his work on Archimedes' measurement of the sphere.Шаблон:Sfn A high degree of mathematical accomplishment would have been needed to comment on Apollonius's advanced mathematics or the astronomical Canon. Because of this, most scholars today recognize that Hypatia must have been among the leading mathematicians of her day.Шаблон:Sfn

Reputed inventions

Файл:Astrolabio (16787706916).jpg
Hypatia is known to have constructed plane astrolabes,Шаблон:Sfn such as the one shown above, which dates to the eleventh century.

One of Synesius's letters describes Hypatia as having taught him how to construct a silver plane astrolabe as a gift for an official.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn An astrolabe is a device used to calculate date and time based on the positions of the stars and planets. It can also be used to predict where the stars and planets will be on any given date.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn A "little astrolabe", or "plane astrolabe", is a kind of astrolabe that used stereographic projection of the celestial sphere to represent the heavens on a plane surface, as opposed to an armillary sphere, which was globe-shaped.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Armillary spheres were large and normally used for display, whereas a plane astrolabe was portable and could be used for practical measurements.Шаблон:Sfn

The statement from Synesius's letter has sometimes been wrongly interpreted to mean that Hypatia invented the plane astrolabe herself,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn but the plane astrolabe was in use at least 500 years before Hypatia was born.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Hypatia may have learned how to construct a plane astrolabe from her father Theon,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn who had written two treatises on astrolabes: one entitled Memoirs on the Little Astrolabe and another study on the armillary sphere in Ptolemy's Almagest.Шаблон:Sfn Theon's treatise is now lost, but it was well known to the Syrian bishop Severus Sebokht (575–667), who describes its contents in his own treatise on astrolabes.Шаблон:Sfn[19] Hypatia and Theon may have also studied Ptolemy's Planisphaerium, which describes the calculations necessary in order to construct an astrolabe.Шаблон:Sfn Synesius's wording indicates that Hypatia did not design or construct the astrolabe herself, but acted as a guide and mentor during the process of constructing it.Шаблон:Sfn

In another letter, Synesius requests Hypatia to construct him a "hydroscope", a device now known as a hydrometer, to determine the density or specific gravity of liquids.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Based on this request, it has been claimed that Hypatia invented the hydrometer herself.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The minute detail in which Synesius describes the instrument, however, indicates that he assumes she has never heard of the device,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn but trusts she will be able to replicate it based on a verbal description. Hydrometers were based on Archimedes' 3rd century BC principles, may have been invented by him, and were being described by the 2nd century AD in a poem by the Roman author Remnius.[20][21][22] Although modern authors frequently credit Hypatia with having developed a variety of other inventions, these other attributions may all be discounted as spurious.Шаблон:Sfn Booth concludes, "The modern day reputation held by Hypatia as a philosopher, mathematician, astronomer, and mechanical inventor, is disproportionate to the amount of surviving evidence of her life's work. This reputation is either built on myth or hearsay as opposed to evidence. Either that or we are missing all of the evidence that would support it."Шаблон:Sfn

Legacy

Antiquity

Neoplatonism and paganism both survived for centuries after Hypatia's death,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn and new academic lecture halls continued to be built in Alexandria after her death.Шаблон:Sfn Over the next 200 years, Neoplatonist philosophers such as Hierocles of Alexandria, John Philoponus, Simplicius of Cilicia, and Olympiodorus the Younger made astronomical observations, taught mathematics, and wrote lengthy commentaries on the works of Plato and Aristotle.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Hypatia was not the last female Neoplatonist philosopher; later ones include Aedesia, Asclepigenia, and Theodora of Emesa.Шаблон:Sfn

According to Watts, however, Hypatia had no appointed successor, no spouse, and no offspringШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn and her sudden death not only left her legacy unprotected, but also triggered a backlash against her entire ideology.Шаблон:Sfn Hypatia, with her tolerance towards Christian students and her willingness to cooperate with Christian leaders, had hoped to establish a precedent that Neoplatonism and Christianity could coexist peacefully and cooperatively. Instead, her death and the subsequent failure by the Christian government to impose justice on her killers destroyed that notion entirely and led future Neoplatonists such as Damascius to consider Christian bishops as "dangerous, jealous figures who were also utterly unphilosophical."Шаблон:Sfn Hypatia became seen as a "martyr for philosophy",Шаблон:Sfn and her murder led philosophers to adopt attitudes that increasingly emphasized the pagan aspects of their beliefs systemШаблон:Sfn and helped create a sense of identity for philosophers as pagan traditionalists set apart from the Christian masses.Шаблон:Sfn Thus, while Hypatia's death did not bring an end to Neoplatonist philosophy as a whole, Watts argues that it did bring an end to her particular variety of it.Шаблон:Sfn

Shortly after Hypatia's murder, a forged anti-Christian letter appeared under her name.[23] Damascius was "anxious to exploit the scandal of Hypatia's death", and attributed responsibility for her murder to Bishop Cyril and his Christian followers.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn A passage from Damascius's Life of Isidore, preserved in the Suda, concludes that Hypatia's murder was due to Cyril's envy over "her wisdom exceeding all bounds and especially in the things concerning astronomy".Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Damascius's account of the Christian murder of Hypatia is the sole historical source attributing direct responsibility to Bishop Cyril.Шаблон:Sfn At the same time, Damascius was not entirely kind to Hypatia either; he characterizes her as nothing more than a wandering Cynic,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn and compares her unfavorably with his own teacher Isidore of Alexandria,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn remarking that "Isidorus greatly outshone Hypatia, not just as a man does over a woman, but in the way a genuine philosopher will over a mere geometer."Шаблон:Sfn

Hypatia's death was similar to those of Christian martyrs in Alexandria, who had been dragged through the streets during the Decian persecution in 250.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Other aspects of Hypatia's life also fit the mold for a Christian martyr, especially her lifelong virginity.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In the Early Middle Ages, Christians conflated Hypatia's death with stories of the Decian martyrsШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn and she became part of the basis for the legend of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a virgin martyr said to have been exceedingly wise and well-educated.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The earliest attestation for the cult of Saint Catherine comes from the eighth century, around three hundred years after Hypatia's death.Шаблон:Sfn One story tells of Saint Catherine being confronted by fifty pagan philosophers seeking to convert her,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn but instead converting all of them to Christianity through her eloquence.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Another legend claimed that Saint Catherine had been a student of Athanasius of Alexandria.Шаблон:Sfn In the Laodikeia of Asia Minor (today Denizli in Turkey) until late 19th century Hypatia was venerated as identical to St. Catherine.[24][25]

The Byzantine Suda encyclopedia contains a very long entry about Hypatia, which summarizes two different accounts of her life.Шаблон:Sfn The first eleven lines come from one source and the rest of the entry comes from Damascius's Life of Isidore. Most of the first eleven lines of the entry probably come from Hesychius's Onomatologos,Шаблон:Sfn but some parts are of unknown origin, including a claim that she was "the wife of Isidore the Philosopher" (apparently Isidore of Alexandria).[9]Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Watts describes this as a very puzzling claim, not only because Isidore of Alexandria was not born until long after Hypatia's death, and no other philosopher of that name contemporary with Hypatia is known,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn[26] but also because it contradicts Damascius's own statement quoted in the same entry about Hypatia being a lifelong virgin.Шаблон:Sfn Watts suggests that someone probably misunderstood the meaning of the word gynē used by Damascius to describe Hypatia in his Life of Isidore, since the same word can mean either "woman" or "wife".Шаблон:Sfn

The Byzantine and Christian intellectual Photios (Шаблон:Circa 810/820–893) includes both Damascius's account of Hypatia and Socrates Scholasticus's in his Bibliotheke.Шаблон:Sfn In his own comments, Photios remarks on Hypatia's great fame as a scholar, but does not mention her death, perhaps indicating that he saw her scholarly work as more significant.Шаблон:Sfn The intellectual Eudokia Makrembolitissa (1021–1096), the second wife of Byzantine emperor Constantine X Doukas, was described by the historian Nicephorus Gregoras as a "second Hypatia".Шаблон:Sfn

Early modern period

Файл:Hypatia - John Toland 1720.jpg
The eighteenth-century English Deist scholar John Toland used Hypatia's death as the basis for an anti-Catholic polemic, in which he changed the details of her murder and introduced new elements not found in any of his sources in order to portray Cyril in the worst possible light.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Early eighteenth-century Deist scholar John Toland used the murder of Hypatia as the basis for an anti-Catholic tract,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn[27] portraying Hypatia's death in the worst possible light by changing the story and inventing elements not found in any of the ancient sources.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn A 1721 response by Thomas Lewis defended Cyril,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn rejected Damascius's account as unreliable because its author was "a heathen"Шаблон:Sfn and argued that Socrates Scholasticus was "a Puritan", who was consistently biased against Cyril.Шаблон:Sfn

Voltaire, in his Examen important de Milord Bolingbroke ou le tombeau de fanatisme (1736) interpreted Hypatia as a believer in "the laws of rational Nature" and "the capacities of the human mind free of dogmas"Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn and described her death as "a bestial murder perpetrated by Cyril's tonsured hounds, with a fanatical gang at their heels".Шаблон:Sfn Later, in an entry for his Dictionnaire philosophique (1772), Voltaire again portrayed Hypatia as a freethinking deistic genius brutally murdered by ignorant and misunderstanding Christians.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Most of the entry ignores Hypatia herself altogether and instead deals with the controversy over whether or not Cyril was responsible for her death.Шаблон:Sfn Voltaire concludes with the snide remark that "When one strips beautiful women naked, it is not to massacre them."Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

In his monumental work The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, the English historian Edward Gibbon expanded on Toland and Voltaire's misleading portrayals by declaring Cyril as the sole cause of all evil in Alexandria at the beginning of the fifth centuryШаблон:Sfn and construing Hypatia's murder as evidence to support his thesis that the rise of Christianity hastened the decline of the Roman Empire.Шаблон:Sfn He remarks on Cyril's continued veneration as a Christian saint, commenting that "superstition [Christianity] perhaps would more gently expiate the blood of a virgin, than the banishment of a saint."Шаблон:Sfn In response to these accusations, Catholic authors, as well as some French Protestants, insisted with increased vehemence that Cyril had absolutely no involvement in Hypatia's murder and that Peter the Lector was solely responsible. In the course of these heated debates, Hypatia herself tended to be cast aside and ignored, while the debates focused far more intently on the question of whether Peter the Lector had acted alone or under Cyril's orders.Шаблон:Sfn

Nineteenth century

Шаблон:Multiple image

In the nineteenth century European literary authors spun the legend of Hypatia as part of neo-Hellenism, a movement that romanticised ancient Greeks and their values.Шаблон:Sfn Interest in the "literary legend of Hypatia" began to rise.Шаблон:Sfn Diodata Saluzzo Roero's 1827 Ipazia ovvero delle Filosofie suggested that Cyril had actually converted Hypatia to Christianity, and that she had been killed by a "treacherous" priest.[28]

Файл:Hypatia (Charles Mitchell).jpg
Hypatia (1885) by Charles William Mitchell, believed to be a depiction of a scene in Charles Kingsley's 1853 novel Hypatia[29]Шаблон:Sfn

In his 1852 Hypatie and 1857 Hypathie et Cyrille, French poet Charles Leconte de Lisle portrayed Hypatia as the epitome of "vulnerable truth and beauty".Шаблон:Sfn Leconte de Lisle's first poem portrayed Hypatia as a woman born after her time, a victim of the laws of history.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn His second poem reverted to the eighteenth-century Deistic portrayal of Hypatia as the victim of Christian brutality,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn but with the twist that Hypatia tries and fails to convince Cyril that Neoplatonism and Christianity are actually fundamentally the same.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Charles Kingsley's 1853 novel Hypatia; Or, New Foes with an Old Face was originally intended as a historical treatise, but instead became a typical mid-Victorian romance with a militantly anti-Catholic message,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn portraying Hypatia as a "helpless, pretentious, and erotic heroine"[30] with the "spirit of Plato and the body of Aphrodite."Шаблон:Sfn

Kingsley's novel was tremendously popular;Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn it was translated into several European languagesШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn and remained continuously in print for the rest of the century.Шаблон:Sfn It promoted the romantic vision of Hypatia as "the last of the Hellenes"Шаблон:Sfn and was quickly adapted into a broad variety of stage productions, the first of which was a play written by Elizabeth Bowers, performed in Philadelphia in 1859, starring the writer herself in the titular role.Шаблон:Sfn On 2 January 1893, a much higher-profile stage play adaptation Hypatia, written by G. Stuart Ogilvie and produced by Herbert Beerbohm Tree, opened at the Haymarket Theatre in London. The title role was initially played by Julia Neilson, and it featured an elaborate musical score written by the composer Hubert Parry.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The novel also spawned works of visual art,Шаблон:Sfn including an 1867 image portraying Hypatia as a young woman by the early photographer Julia Margaret CameronШаблон:Sfn[31] and an 1885 painting by Charles William Mitchell showing a nude Hypatia standing before an altar in a church.Шаблон:Sfn

At the same time, European philosophers and scientists described Hypatia as the last representative of science and free inquiry before a "long medieval decline".Шаблон:Sfn In 1843, German authors Soldan and Heppe argued in their highly influential History of the Witchcraft Trials that Hypatia may have been, in effect, the first famous "witch" punished under Christian authority (see witch-hunt).[32]

Hypatia was honored as an astronomer when 238 Hypatia, a main belt asteroid discovered in 1884, was named for her. The lunar crater Hypatia was also named for her, in addition to craters named for her father Theon. The 180 km Rimae Hypatia are located north of the crater, one degree south of the equator, along the Mare Tranquillitatis.Шаблон:Sfn

Twentieth century

Шаблон:Multiple image

In 1908, American writer Elbert Hubbard published a putative biography of Hypatia in his series Little Journeys to the Homes of Great Teachers. The book is almost entirely a work of fiction.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In it, Hubbard relates a completely made-up physical exercise program which he claims Theon established for his daughter, involving "fishing, horseback-riding, and rowing".Шаблон:Sfn He claims that Theon taught Hypatia to "Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than to never think at all."Шаблон:Sfn Hubbard claims that, as a young woman, Hypatia traveled to Athens, where she studied under Plutarch of Athens. All of this supposed biographical information, however, is completely fictional and is not found in any ancient source. Hubbard even attributes to Hypatia numerous completely fabricated quotations in which she presents modern, rationalist views.Шаблон:Sfn The cover illustration for the book, a drawing of Hypatia by artist Jules Maurice Gaspard showing her as a beautiful young woman with her wavy hair tied back in the classical style, has now become the most iconic and widely reproduced image of her.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Around the same time, Hypatia was adopted by feminists, and her life and death began to be viewed in the light of the women's rights movement.Шаблон:Sfn The author Carlo Pascal claimed in 1908 that her murder was an anti-feminist act and brought about a change in the treatment of women, as well as the decline of the Mediterranean civilization in general.Шаблон:Sfn Dora Russell published a book on the inadequate education of women and inequality with the title Hypatia or Woman and Knowledge in 1925.Шаблон:Sfn The prologue explains why she chose the title:Шаблон:Sfn "Hypatia was a university lecturer denounced by Church dignitaries and torn to pieces by Christians. Such will probably be the fate of this book."Шаблон:Sfn Hypatia's death became symbolic for some historians. For example, Kathleen Wider proposes that the murder of Hypatia marked the end of Classical antiquity,[33] and Stephen Greenblatt writes that her murder "effectively marked the downfall of Alexandrian intellectual life".[34] On the other hand, Christian Wildberg notes that Hellenistic philosophy continued to flourish in the 5th and 6th centuries, and perhaps until the age of Justinian I.[35]Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:Rquote

Falsehoods and misconceptions about Hypatia continued to proliferate throughout the late twentieth century.Шаблон:Sfn Though Hubbard's fictional biography may have been intended for children,Шаблон:Sfn Lynn M. Osen relied on it as her main source in her influential 1974 article on Hypatia in her 1974 book Women in Mathematics.Шаблон:Sfn Fordham University used Hubbard's biography as the main source of information about Hypatia in a medieval history course.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Carl Sagan's 1980 PBS series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage relates a heavily fictionalized retelling of Hypatia's death, which results in the "Great Library of Alexandria" being burned by militant Christians.Шаблон:Sfn In actuality, though Christians led by Theophilus did destroy the Serapeum in 391 AD, the Library of Alexandria had already ceased to exist in any recognizable form centuries prior to Hypatia's birth.Шаблон:Sfn As a female intellectual, Hypatia became a role model for modern intelligent women and two feminist journals were named after her: the Greek journal Hypatia: Feminist Studies was launched in Athens in 1984, and Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy in the United States in 1986.Шаблон:Sfn In the United Kingdom, the Hypatia Trust maintains a library and archive of feminine literary, artistic and scientific work; and, sponsors the Hypatia-in-the-Woods women's retreat in Washington, United States.Шаблон:Sfn

Judy Chicago's large-scale art piece The Dinner Party awards Hypatia a table setting.[36]Шаблон:Sfn The table runner depicts Hellenistic goddesses weeping over her death.Шаблон:Sfn Chicago states that the social unrest leading to Hypatia's murder resulted from Roman patriarchy and mistreatment of women and that this ongoing unrest can only be brought to an end through the restoration of an original, primeval matriarchy.Шаблон:Sfn She (anachronistically and incorrectly) concludes that Hypatia's writings were burned in the Library of Alexandria when it was destroyed.Шаблон:Sfn Major works of twentieth century literature contain references to Hypatia,Шаблон:Sfn including Marcel Proust's volume "Within a Budding Grove" from In Search of Lost Time, and Iain Pears's The Dream of Scipio.Шаблон:Sfn

Twenty-first century

Hypatia has continued to be a popular subject in both fiction and nonfiction by authors in many countries and languages.Шаблон:Sfn In 2015, the planet designated Iota Draconis b was named after Hypatia.[37]

In Umberto Eco's 2002 novel Baudolino, the hero's love interest is a half-satyr, half-woman descendant of a female-only community of Hypatia's disciples, collectively known as "hypatias".Шаблон:Sfn Charlotte Kramer's 2006 novel Holy Murder: the Death of Hypatia of Alexandria portrays Cyril as an archetypal villain, while Hypatia is described as brilliant, beloved, and more knowledgeable of scripture than Cyril.Шаблон:Sfn Ki Longfellow's novel Flow Down Like Silver (2009) invents an elaborate backstory for why Hypatia first started teaching.Шаблон:Sfn Youssef Ziedan's novel Azazeel (2012) describes Hypatia's murder through the eyes of a witness.Шаблон:Sfn Bruce MacLennan's 2013 book The Wisdom of Hypatia presents Hypatia as a guide who introduces Neoplatonic philosophy and exercises for modern life.[38] In The Plot to Save Socrates (2006) by Paul Levinson and its sequels, Hypatia is a time-traveler from the twenty-first century United States.[39][40][41] In the TV series The Good Place, Hypatia is played by Lisa Kudrow as one of the few ancient philosophers eligible for heaven, by not having defended slavery.[42]

The 2009 film Agora, directed by Alejandro Amenábar and starring Rachel Weisz as Hypatia, is a heavily fictionalized dramatization of Hypatia's final years.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The film, which was intended to criticize contemporary Christian fundamentalism,Шаблон:Sfn has had wide-ranging impact on the popular conception of Hypatia.Шаблон:Sfn It emphasizes Hypatia's astronomical and mechanical studies rather than her philosophy, portraying her as "less Plato than Copernicus",Шаблон:Sfn and emphasizes the restrictions imposed on women by the early Christian church,Шаблон:Sfn including depictions of Hypatia being sexually assaulted by one of her father's Christian slaves,Шаблон:Sfn and of Cyril reading from Шаблон:Bibleverse forbidding women from teaching.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The film contains numerous historical inaccuracies:Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn It inflates Hypatia's achievementsШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn and incorrectly portrays her as finding a proof of Aristarchus of Samos's heliocentric model of the universe, which there is no evidence that Hypatia ever studied.Шаблон:Sfn It also contains a scene based on Carl Sagan's Cosmos in which Christians raid the Serapeum and burn all of its scrolls, leaving the building itself largely intact. In reality, the Serapeum probably did not have any scrolls in it at that time,Шаблон:Efn and the building was demolished in 391 AD.Шаблон:Sfn The film also implies that Hypatia is an atheist, directly contradictory to the surviving sources, which all portray her as following the teachings of Plotinus that the goal of philosophy was "a mystical union with the divine."Шаблон:Sfn
