Abelard And Heloise: Still Crossing Stars

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader, being the liberally educated fellow that he is, is quite familiar with the story of Abelard and Heloise. They wre the famed star-crossed lovers of medieval France. (Who's story is, at least in part, the inspration for Romeo & Juliet, as well as interpretations of Tristan and Isolde; as well as countless ballads and poems.)

It seems as though Abelard and Heloise are still crossing stars today. This peice off the news wires discusses a debate "raging" among academics as to the authenticity of letters that may have been written by Abelard and Heloise.

Excursus: "Raging" and "Academics" Heh. Your Maximum Leader hasn't ever known a medievalist who was prone to rage...

This is the first your Maximum Leader has heard of these letters. So he will now do some more reading and see what he can learn. It may be interesting.

Carry on.
