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）。意料之外的情节，意料之中的精彩。 查理·布鲁克令人期待已久的黑暗讽刺独立单元剧现已回归，每一集都是对这部剧集的自我重塑。《黑镜》第六季是迄今为止最不可预测、最难以分类、最出人意料的一季。。历史频道最新系列纪录片《宇宙》囊括了宇宙的一切，从黑洞到我们的太阳，从未探索的太空到可能存在生命的星球... 《宇宙》这个专题已经被N多机构做过N多遍了，但历史频道做的非常出色，在讲述人类探索宇宙的历史故事的时候，严谨详实地叙说了人类对宇宙的不懈探索，同时将已经了解和尚未了解的宇宙奥秘一一展现出来，真的秉承了历史频道的传统。 EP01太阳系七大奇观 EP02火星新证据 EP03磁暴 EP04时间旅行 EP05空间探测器的奥秘 EP06小行星侵袭 EP07日全食 EP08太阳之死。
