ya sea por el momento

Question

I am trying to translate this sentence from Spanish to English:

In Spanish:

"La existencia de Hipatia, la mas reconocida cientifica del mundo antiguo, esta documentada en muy pocas fuentes originales, pero son muchas las secundarias que la tienen registrada, ya sea por el momento historico en el que se desarrollo, la relevancia de su actividad, la fuerza de su caracter o el dramatismo de su muerte."

This is what I have translated in English:

"The existence of Hypatia, the most renowned female scientist of the ancient world, is documented in very few primary sources, but there are plenty of secondary sources that are registered throughout this historic period that developed the importance of her activities, the strength of her character, or the dramatic nature of her death."

in the quote "ya sea por el momento historico..." I'm not sure if I translated it correctly in english mostly because i dont' understand the spanish meaning. Can somebody help me'

Answer 1

whether it was because .......of ..the historic moment

whether it was because ........of that time in history

whether it was of that moment in history or her strenght of her character or the dramatic nature of her death ...

Answer 2

Kiermel said:

ya sea por el momento historico en el que se desarrolló. either by the historical moment in which it developed.

Hi kiermel, this is not an appropriate translation.

Answer 3

ya sea por el momento historico en el que se desarrolló.
either by the historical moment in which it developed.

Answer 4

The existence of Hypatia, the most renowned female scientist of the ancient world, is only documented in very few primary sources, but there are plenty of secondary sources she is mentioned/registered in, be it because of the historic period she developed in, the importance of her activities, the strength of her character/personality, or the dramatic nature of her death."

I have made some more changes, but this "ya sea por...o...." is normally translated by "be it ....or..."
