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）。在一个名为瑞弗顿的小镇，曾出现过令人闻风丧胆的开膛手。他的真实身份是一个名叫亚伯尔·普林科夫（Raúl Esparza 饰）的普通男子，开膛手似乎是他一个隐藏的人格，又像是潜藏在他体内的罪恶的幽灵。某晚，亚伯尔失心发狂，杀害了待产的妻子。他则被赶来的警察射上，却在回警局的路上引发事故，从此下落不明。与此同时，小镇医院内降生了7名早产儿。 16年过去，当年的7名婴儿成为了好朋友。他们将生日定为开膛手日，每年的这一天都举行奇怪的庆祝仪式，期望借此远离开膛手的梦魇。但是这一年，开膛手亚伯似乎真地回到了瑞弗顿，并将目标锁定在这7个孩子身上……。A graduate of the Offenbach College of Design, Piotr J.
