Show notes

This is one of many famous novels written by R. Austin Freeman that includes the character of Dr. John Thorndyke. Dr. Thorndyke is a legal expert, medical expert and investigator all rolled into one gifted package. The story is told through the eyes of young Dr. Paul Berkley, a former student of Dr. Thorndyke who becomes acquainted with the family of a man named John Bellingham who had mysteriously disappeared some years previously.

Mr. Bellingham was a renowned archaeologist and benefactor to the British museum who had left behind him an unresolved last will and testament that was in dispute because his death could not be confirmed. Dr. Thorndyke applies his usual skill to unravel the mystery and arrives at the solution which eludes all others looking into the case and does so in his own special style.

The Love Letters of Abelard and Heloise, by Pierre Abélard and Héloïse d'Argenteuil. Part III. Sep 18, 2025

Show notes

Heloise was a strong-willed and gifted woman who was fluent in Latin, Greek and Hebrew, and came from a lower social standing than Abelard. At age 19, and living under her uncle Fulbert's roof, Heloise fell in love with Abelard, who she was studying under.

Not only did they have a clandestine affair of a physical nature, they had a child, Astrolabe, out of wedlock. Discovered by the Fulbert (who was a Church official), Abelard was assaulted by a hired thug, and Heloise entered a convent. Abelard was exiled to Brittany, where he lived as a monk. Eventually Heloise became abbess of the Oratory of the Paraclete, an abbey which Abelard had founded.

It was at this time that they exchanged their famous letters, presented in this book. The letters, originally written in Latin, are passionate both in the remembrance of lost love, and the attempt to reconcile that love with their respective monastic duty to remain chaste.
