Reviews

"Silvia Ronchey's original study of Hypatia, which came out over twenty years ago, set a new standard for the biography and impact of this famous philosopher and mathematician, and launched what the author calls 'an explosion of interes' (21). This new expanded edition in English, withupdated bibliography, is therefore a particularly welcome addition to thegrowing number of books on Alexandria and its leading schools in the fourth and fifth centuries."
