REVIEW: Flow Down Like Silver: Hypatia of Alexandria by Ki Longfellow

July 2, July 12, Leave a Reply Cancel reply Enter your comment here The story of Hypatia is one I had never heard, never got mentioned in school, and yet here is one of the greatest women who ever lived! And so fortunate in her writer. Who knows if it is accurate? The author doesn't claim it is, too little to go by. But the Hypatia Longfellow has given us is a tremendous creation. So moving as we live her life with her, knowing all along her special world is doomed.

Oh, back for more tissues. After I read The Secret Magdalene by this author, I could not wait to read her next book, also a work with the search for eternal meaning at its core.

This one concerns Hypatia of Alexandria, one of the world's brilliant forgotten women. Hypatia was a mathematician, a philosopher the Hypatia was a mathematician, a philosopher the most famous and influential of her day , a cosmologist, alchemist, and the last of the great mystery Alexandrian teachers just as Christianity was sweeping through the Roman world forbidding all that Hypatia believed in, taught and did. She was a woman of beauty and sensuality and courage. She stood her ground when the "faithful" came calling for her in the guise of Cyril, the new Bishop of Alexandria.

See a Problem?

This is a stunning story gorgeously written, just as The Secret Magdalene is and was. It's an easier read, not that the first book was hard, not if you don't expect a beach book. These are not beach books.

She was surely a philosopher. In her day mathematics was an amalgam of philosophy and numbers. We like to think there is such a thing as "pure" science. I don't believe there is because all science is human based and is therefore tainted by our hopes and beliefs. In Hypatia's time, no one pretended there was anything like pure science.

This book makes that clear and that alone makes it interesting to open minded mathematicians. Other than that, it's a great read and full of fascinating ideas clearly expressed. Contributed by Emily How can one expect a historical novel to be full of what today's mathematicians think of as mathematics? This is not a book on the history of mathematics and since so little is known about Hypatia's work in this field, it would be as much guessing as anything.
