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）。《窈窕主妇》由英国女星西耶娜·米勒同伊朗女星格什菲·法拉哈尼共同主演，讲述两位女主人公从芝加哥一路前往拉斯维加斯参加肚皮舞大赛的故事。 法国导演波查拉曾凭借《生命如尘》、《光荣岁月》以及《法外之徒》三次获得奥斯卡最佳外语片提名。《窈窕主妇》是他首部英文片。导演把该片同杰瑞·沙茨伯格执导、吉恩·哈克曼与阿尔·帕西诺主演的金棕榈影片《稻草人》相比，讲述了两位女伴之间不同寻常的友谊。。伊戈尔继续在警察局工作，每天侦破新案件的同时继续寻找杀母凶手。然而，强大的敌人使他很难兼顾守法与复仇。。
