Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings and explores the medieval world they reveal. Part 1: Ruling by the Book Janina begins her journey with the first Anglo-Saxon rulers to create a united England, encountering books in the British Library's Royal manuscripts collection which are over a thousand years old and a royal family tree which is five metres long. Janina finds out about a king who had a reputation for chasing nuns and reads a book created as a wedding gift for a ten-year-old prince. She roams from Westminster Abbey to other ancient English spiritual sites such as Winchester, St Albans and Malmesbury, and sees for herself how animal skins can be transformed into the finest vellum. Part 2: What a King Should Know Janina shows how medieval manuscripts gave power to the king and united the kingdom in an age of plague, warfare and rebellion, discovers that Edward III used the manuscripts he read as a boy to prepare him for his great victory at the battle of Crecy and reveals how a vigorous new national identity bloomed during the 100 Years War with France. In the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection Dr Ramirez finds out that magnificent manuscripts like the Bedford Hours, taken as war booty from the French royal family, were adapted for the education of English princes. She also explores how knowledge spread through a new form of book - the encyclopaedia. Part 3: Libraries Gave Us Power The story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries| and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance. （转自mvgroup论坛）。小S韓國5天4夜之旅正式開始！ 頭兩天走訪江南和汝矣島的行程，包括品嚐知名烤韓牛、醬蟹，及到THE現代首爾購物。。《东方海盗传奇》的故事情节刻意接近《加勒比海盗》，讲述在香港贸易繁荣时期海盗为患，香港政府屡派队伍攻打海盗盘居地恶龙岛，总是全军覆没。出于无奈，香港政府只得求助于20年前横行粤港两地的水警总督、江湖高手人称玉面螳螂的唐郎 (王晶饰)出马，唐郎为了涣散海盗们的军心，带着心上人元秋和5个艳丽多姿的老婆深入匪窝，雄踞一方的海盗红胡子被这些风骚的女人弄得神智不清丧失心智，一系列故事依次展开……。
