    Thought by some to have been the last head of a great institution of learning, this individual was murdered by Christians. Who was it?

    Question #56664. Asked by lanfranco. (Apr 14 05 1:52 PM)

    		I think this would be Hypatia, the neo-Platonist philosopher and teacher who is widely regarded as the last head of the great library of Alexandria, and who was murdered by Christians in AD 415 or thereabouts. Others treat her father Theon as the last head.

    		And Hypatia would be right! I have simply got to come up with some questions you cannot answer. At least not without some extended brainstorming.
