Kaitlin,

     Very good paper on Hypatia and what we know of her life
   and mathematical contributions.  I think it would have been
   interesting to look at the discussion of Hypatia's work
   by Wilbur Knorr in his book "Textual Studies in Ancient 
   and Medieval Geometry" (1989) in addition to some of the 
   older sources you looked at.  Knorr's suggestion is that
   other later works, such as a commentary on Apollonius's
   Conics by Eutocius might in fact derive from Hypatia's 
   earlier commentary.  If that was true (and that's actually
   a rather big "if"), then another major work of hers might be 
   recoverable, at least in broad outline.  This was discussed 
   briefly in the Addendum to the Deakin article from the American 
   Mathematical Monthly that you used.  Did you try to follow up 
   on that lead?  Knorr was one of the best historians of mathematics
   of the second half of the 20th century and he's always 
   worth reading.  (He died unfortunately young from skin cancer
   in 1997.)

     The other aspect of the Hypatia story that I think you 
   might have said more about is the sexism that you can see
   in some of the comments about her that you quote.  She was
   a controversial figure because of her gender and that 
   probably affected how her work was received and whether it
   was acknowledged as important.  

     Finally, your paper mentions "the Suda" several times
   and the "Suidae Lexicon" but these are actually the same
   thing -- both names refer to a large encyclopedia of 
   about 30,000 entries containing a lot of information about
   the ancient world.  This was compiled in the Byzantine 
   Empire somewhere between 900 and 1000 CE.
