But while none of Hypatia's own writings survive, her contemporaries' and students' accounts of her work and life paint a picture of the qualities that made her renowned as a scholar, beloved as a teacher, and ultimately led to her downfall.
希帕提娅(希腊文: Ὑπατία;370年-415年),又译作海芭夏、海帕西娅,著名的希腊化古埃及新柏拉图主义学者,是当时名重一时、广受欢迎的女性哲学家、数学家、天文学家、占星学家以及教师,她居住在希腊化时代古埃及的亚历山大港,对该城的知识社区做出了极大贡献。根据后世数据显示,她曾对丢番图的《算术》(Arithmetica)、阿波罗尼奥斯的《圆锥曲线论》(Conics)以及托勒密的作品做过评注,但均未留存。从她的学生辛奈西斯(Synesius of Cyrene)写给她的信中,可以看出她的知识背景:她属柏拉图学派──虽然我们只能假设她曾采纳普罗提诺的学说(普罗提纳斯为公元三世纪时的柏拉图门人,也是新柏拉图学派的创始者)。另外有少许证据显示,希帕提娅在科学上最知名的贡献,为发明了天体观测仪以及比重计。她最后被暴徒迫害杀死。2009年其生平被改编成西班牙电影《城市广场》搬上银幕。
