Nicht angemeldet Anmelden Hilfe Alexandria Die Texte stammen aus der Wikipedia - Dies ist nicht die Wikipedia Dieser Artikel befasst sich mit der ägyptischen Stadt Alexandria, andere Bedeutungen unter Alexandria (Begriffsklärung). Alexandria ist eine nach ihrem Gründer Alexander dem Großen benannte Hafenstadt am Delta des Nils an der Mittelmeerküste Ägyptens . Nach dessen Tod wurde sie zum Sitz der ptolemäischen Dynastie und wurde rasch zu einer der berühmtesten Städte in der griechischen Welt. Sie blieb eine wichtige Stadt und ist heute nach Kairo die zweitgrößte Stadt Ägyptens. In antiker Zeit war die Stadt bekannt für ihren Leuchtturm (eines der sieben Weltwunder ) und ihre Bibliothek (ca. 700.000 Schriftrollen), die damals die größte der Welt war. Sie gab der Alexandrinischen Periode ihren Namen. Das Schicksal der Großen Bibliothek ist umstritten; einige antike Quellen sprechen von einem Feuer bei Cäsars Eroberung der Stadt. Wie jedoch Edward Parsons in seiner Quellenanalyse nachweist [1], stützen nur 6 von 16 Quellen über das Alexandria der Zeit diese Hypothese, die erste dieser Quellen wurde ca. 100 Jahre nach dem angeblichen Vorfall geschrieben, und die Zahl der angeblich verlorenen Bücher schwankt von 40.000 (die erste Quelle) bis 700.000, also der kompletten Bibliothek (Aulus Gellius), die letzte Quelle (Orosius) spricht wieder von 40.000 Büchern. Das Museum von Alexandria, an das die Bibliothek angegliedert war, existierte mit Sicherheit weiterhin, da mehrere Leiter des Museums aus nachchristlicher Zeit bekannt sind, und Plutarch schreibt von einem Geschenk von 200.000 Schriftrollen aus der Bibliothek des

The Decline of the Library and Museum of Alexandria by Ellen Brundige December 10, 1991 Table of Contents Introduction Origin Alexandria in the Time of Caesar Imperial Alexandria ... Bibliography "And concerning the number of books, the establishment of libraries, and the collection in the Hall of the the Muses, why need I even speak, since they are all in men's memories?" Athenaeus of Alexandria Introduction Origin In order to discuss the history of the Library and Museum in the Imperial period, it is necessary to give a brief overview of their background. The first mention of the Library itself is found in a Jewish document of 180-145 B.C., The Letter of Aristeas , a propagandistic account of the translation of the Septuagint by the seventy-two rabbis into Greek. This translation was commissioned by the Museum's founder, Demetrius, under the patronage of Ptolemy I, Ptolemy Soter. The establishment of the Library was handed down to Ptolemy II, Ptolemy Philadelphus, in 283 B.C., and it was perhaps during his reign that the monarch began the practice of attracting scholars, housing and funding them in the Museum, and collecting the vast Library. The idea of a formal institution for scholars of all kinds, complete with a library, was a new one, and the Museum was modelled on the Lyceum of Aristotle in Athens; Demetrius himself, an exiled tyrant of Athens, was one of Aristotle's followers.

Jh. - S. ist der letzte uns bekannte Vertreter der alexandrinischen Schule des Neuplatonismus. Er studierte vielleicht bei Elias dem Neuplatoniker, einem Schüler von Olympiodoros dem Jüngeren, und lehrte zunächst in seiner Heimatstadt Alexandria, wo ihn um 610 Johannes Moschos und Sophronios von Jerusalem hören wollten, aber nur beim Mittagsschlaf antrafen; ob sie seine Vorlesung hernach doch besuchten, berichtet Moschos nicht, doch ist es anzunehmen. Er wurde, wie zwar nicht direkt bezeugt ist, aber von Usener aus einer Äußerung des byzantinischen Historikers Theophylaktos Simokattes erschlossen wurde, um 612 von Kaiser Herakleios nach Konstantinopel berufen und bildet so ein wichtiges Bindeglied zwischen der antik-alexandrinischen und der mittelalterlich-byzantinischen Gelehrsamkeit. Das hohe Ansehen, das er genoß, ist auch daran zu erkennen, daß er den ehrenvollen Titel eines o I koumenik C V did a skaloV i.J. 775 verfaßt ist und somit nicht von S. stammen kann. - Verfehlt ist die bisweilen vertretene Gleichsetzung des Stephanos v. Alexandria (Stephanus Philosophus) mit dem Arzt Stephanos v. Athen (Stephanus Medicus); es kann als ausgeschlossen betrachtet werden, daß der angesehene und sicherlich auch finanziell wohldotierte Gelehrte Stephanos v. Alexandria sich nebenbei als Arzt betätigt hätte; auch ist nicht einzusehen, warum der Philosoph den Namen Stephanos v. Alexandria und der Arzt den Namen Stephanos v. Athen geführt hat, wenn beide ein und dieselbe Person gewesen wären. Die in den Schriften des Arztes Stephanos hervortretende Neigung zur aristotelischen Logik beruht auf der galenischen Tradition der griechischen Ärzte und kann daher nicht als Argument für eine Gleichsetzung mit dem Philosophen Stephanos verwendet werden.

84. Damascius: The Life Of Hypatia From The Suda Reprinted with permission from alexandria 2. HYPATIA, daughter of theon the geometerand philosopher of alexandria, was herself a wellknown philosopher. http://www.cosmopolis.com/alexandria/hypatia-bio-suda.html

The Life of Hypatia From Damascius's Life of Isidore , reproduced in The Suda Translated by Jeremiah Reedy Reprinted with permission from Alexandria 2 HYPATIA, daughter of Theon the geometer and philosopher of Alexandria, was herself a well-known philosopher. She was the wife of the philosopher Isidorus, and she flourished under the Emperor Arcadius. Author of a commentary on Diophantus, she also wrote a work called The Astronomical Canon and a commentary on The Conics of Apollonius. She was torn apart by the Alexandrians and her body was mocked and scattered through the whole city. This happened because of envy and her outstanding wisdom especially regarding astronomy. Some say Cyril was responsible for this outrage; others blame the Alexandrians' innate ferocity and violent tendencies for they dealt with many of their bishops in the same manner, for example George and Proterius. Regarding Hypatia the Philosopher and the Sedition of the Alexandrians Hypatia was born, reared, and educated in Alexandria. Since she had greater genius than her father, she was not satisfied with his instruction in mathematical subjects; she also devoted herself diligently to all of philosophy. The woman used to put on her philosopher's cloak and walk through the middle of town and publicly interpret Plato, Aristotle, or the works of any other philosopher to those who wished to hear her. In addition to her expertise in teaching she rose to the pinnacle of civic virtue. She was both just and chaste and remained always a virgin. She was so beautiful and shapely that one of her students fell in love with her and was unable to control himself and openly showed her a sign of his infatuation. Uninformed reports had Hypatia curing him of his affliction with the help of music. The truth is that the story about music is corrupt. Actually, she gathered rags that had been stained during her period and showed them to him as a sign of her unclean descent and said, "This is what you love, young man, and it isn't beautiful!" He was so affected by shame and amazement at the ugly sight that he experienced a change of heart and went away a better man.

The Primary Sources for the Life and Work of Hypatia of Alexandria by Michael A. B. Deakin History of Mathematics Paper 63 August 1995 Mathematics Department Monash University Clayton 3168, Australia The author may be reached at michael.deakin@sci.monash.edu.au Introduction Historians need to say of the past events they recount not only what happened but also how we know it . This latter question is usually answered by references to sources , that is to say earlier accounts of the matter in hand. We distinguish between two types of source: primary and secondary. The former are those that cannot be traced back any further, the latter those that in their turn do depend on earlier accounts. Primary sources are not necessarily correct in all their detail (indeed those for Hypatia contradict one another in places), but secondary sources should not, without good reason, go beyond what the primary sources assert. Primary sources can however require interpretation and assessment; this is the role of a good secondary source. Indeed secondary sources are vital unless one has the necessary linguistic, historical and cultural background oneself to assess the primary sources. Finally it should be said that works of fiction (whether the fiction is intentional or not!) are not historical sources at all. Regrettably much of what is readily available on Hypatia derives from fictional, rather than historical, sources.

Books on Hypatia of Alexandria a bibliography by Howard A. Landman A library card catalog shows you which books a particular library has. This page is the opposite: an inverted card catalog that shows you which libraries have certain books! In this case, I've collected all the books and magazine articles which appeared in my searches of the world's libraries for information about Hypatia of Alexandria, the great mathematician, scientist, and teacher of antiquity. Also included are a number of items identified by Dr. M.A.B. Deakin. Most of the library references below were obtained through the net, using the University of Kansas' CWIS database, which pointed to almost every known electronic library card catalog in the world. The United States "Other Libraries" list alone was staggering enough! Unfortunately, this resource moved or disappeared, so I have had to remove my (broken) links to it.

Hypatia by Professor Edith Prentice Mendez from Sonoma State University Hypatia of Alexandria (in Egypt) was the leading mathematician and philosopher in the western world at the time she was murdered by a mob in 415 AD. Her position as a woman scholar was unprecedented, although of course Alexandria had seen other powerful women, such as Cleopatra. Many stories have been told about Hypatia, in celebration of her life and in explaining her death. This biography relies on ancient documents to try to trace Hypatia's life and work. In Hypatia's time, Alexandria was the leading center of learning in the Greek tradition. Alexandria had been founded by Alexander the Great, who died in 323 B.C. Alexander had conquered Egypt, and the kings who followed him there established the greatest learning center of ancient times: the Museum and Library of Alexandria. These formed a university or institute for advanced study - "museum" meant dedicated to the muses, the female guiding spirits of arts and sciences. The first known mathematician at the Museum was Euclid, who lived about 300 B.C. and compiled the "Elements" of geometry and number theory that are still the basis of much of our school geometry today, 2300 years later! Hypatia's father, Theon, was the last known member of the Museum faculty in the late 4th century AD. We do not know whether Hypatia taught at the Museum or on her own. The collections of the Library had been partially destroyed several times, most recently in 391 AD when the emperor had ordered the adjacent pagan temple destroyed, and the Museum may have been dismantled at that time.

Hypatia of Alexandria was the first woman to become famous for her studies in mathematics, philosophy, and science. Unfortunately, none of her work has survived. Her life's history is known only through documents and letters from the time in which she lived. Letters from one of Hypatia's students tell us much about her talent. Hypatia was born in Alexandria, Egypt in about A.D. 370 . At the time, Alexandria was an important place of learning. Nothing is really known about Hypatia's mother. Her father was a famous philosopher, or thinker, named Theon of Alexandria. Theon taught at the Museum in Alexandria. The Museum was somewhat like a college. Historians believe that Hypatia learned mathematics and science from her father. She also learned other things from him. In the morning she exercised according to the routine her father designed for her. In the afternoon he taught her how to use words to influence people. Together, father and daughter wrote books on the ideas of other important mathematicians and astronomers . The books helped make the ideas easier to understand. They also allowed people who lived years later to keep studying the teachings of these thinkers. Alexandria, Egypt

Hypatia of Alexandria Mathematician, Astronomer, and Philosopher (d. 415 C.E.) Hypatia was a mathematician, astronomer, and Platonic philosopher. According to the Byzantine encyclopedia The Suda , her father Theon was the last head of the Museum at Alexandria. Hypatia's prominence was accentuated by the fact that she was both female and pagan in an increasingly Christian environment. Shortly before her death, Cyril was made the Christian bishop of Alexandria, and a conflict arose between Cyril and the prefect Orestes. Orestes was disliked by some Christians and was a friend of Hypatia, and rumors started that Hypatia was to blame for the conflict. In the spring of 415 C.E., the situation reached a tragic conclusion when a band of Christian monks seized Hypatia on the street, beat her, and dragged her body to a church where they mutilated her flesh with sharp tiles and burned her remains. Her works include: A Commentary on the Arithmetica of Diophantus A Commentary on the Conics of Apollonious She edited the third book of her father's Commentary on the Almagest of Ptolemy Local Resources The Life of Hypatia from The Suda .
