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）。简介： 作为首次登台，导演兼编剧的Luke Wilson扮演一位好心肠的前罪犯Wendell Baker，因为诈骗被投入了监狱，疏远了与他长期相处的女友Doreen以及狗狗间的关系。不过，年轻、永远乐观的Wendell充分利用他在狱中的时间，发誓要改变他的生活。出狱后，他在Shady Grove离退休旅店得到了一份工作，并与住在里面的Boyd，Skip和Nasher成了好友。Wendell的新朋友帮助他重新赢回女朋友，而他帮助他们与旅店邪恶的护士长Neil King和他得力助手McTeague作战。 关于演员： 离开了成龙的欧文·威尔逊想当年欧文·威尔逊只是个刚刚涉足影坛的小弟弟，而我们的成龙大哥也在好莱坞混得不见起色，整天只能跟些黑鬼佬合作打打杀杀，有一天，这俩小子终于遇到一起了，这就有了那部《上海正午》的神话。从此以后，欧文小弟和成龙大哥两个人...。
