Found as an epigraph in a book about the philosophy of Abelard:

Suae specialiter suus singulariter

Ah, the trick to googling it was to leave out the pronouns. I googled specialiter singulariter abelard and once it became clear it was from Heloise, cut to the chase with specialiter singulariter heloise.

The reason, amusingly enough, that I googled without the pronouns was that I thought that they were wrong; I was unfamiliar with the cases used in Latin for epistolary greetings and couldn't figure out what that nominative was doing there. I have learned lots in doing this research! (Note to self: dative for the "to", nominative for the "from".)
