Hypatia V1-2 is a two-volume novel written by Charles Kingsley and originally published in 1899. The book is set in 5th century Alexandria, Egypt, and follows the life of the philosopher and mathematician Hypatia, who was known for her teachings in philosophy, astronomy, and mathematics. The novel explores her relationships with various historical figures, including the Roman governor Orestes, the Christian bishop Cyril, and her own father, Theon. The story is told from multiple perspectives, including those of Hypatia herself, Orestes, and several other characters. The novel also touches on themes of religious conflict and political intrigue, as tensions rise between the pagan and Christian communities in Alexandria. Overall, Hypatia V1-2 is a thought-provoking and engaging historical novel that offers a unique perspective on the life and times of one of history's most fascinating women.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
