{"product_id":"hypatia-of-alexandria-dawn-lavalle-norman-9783161549694","title":"Hypatia of Alexandria: Her Context and Legacy","description":"Sixteen hundred years after her death (d. 415 CE), the legacy of Hypatia of Alexandria's life, teaching, and especially her violent demise, continue to influence modern culture. Through a series of focused articles, this volume takes a fresh look at the most well-known ancient female philosopher under three aspects: first, through the evidence provided by her most famous pupil, Synesius of Cyrene; next, by placing her in her late antique cultural context, and, finally, through analysis of her reception both ancient and modern. Though the sources are meager, Hypatia's influence on her students and wider culture guaranteed that she remained an important figure throughout the centuries, albeit one ranging from chaste Neoplatonist to conniving witch. Along with its eleven new essays, this volume also includes a new translation of all the principal ancient sources touching on Hypatia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dawn Lavalle Norman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3161549694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783161549694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mohr Siebeck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Dawn Lavalle Norman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113823940863,"sku":"9783161549694","price":143.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ceb47aa-bffa-4a28-b08a-32b9e6d64da8.jpg?v=1769617450","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hypatia-of-alexandria-dawn-lavalle-norman-9783161549694","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
