> Cyril of Alexandria (d. 444) ...was an "orthodoxy at all costs" guy...and
his followers murdered the Neoplatonist philosopher Hypatia.
maybe a Bum Wrap.
"HYPATIA .... pupils, populace [of Alexandria] and statesmen alike succumbed
to her dazzling combination of intellect, beauty, virtue... eloquence, and
political acumen. All this and her paganism provoked the hatred of Cyril of
A., who may or may not have procured her brutal murder by a gang of hospital
attendants (PARABALANOI) led by one Peter the Reader." --Barry Baldwin in The
Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium, II (1991), p. 962 citing, among others, F.
Schaefer, "St. Cyril of Alexandria and the Murder of Hypatia", Catholic
University Bulletin, VIII, (1902), pp. 441-53.
