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1000多年的时间里，巴蜀石窟造像一直延续着，它既与北方石窟一脉相承，又融合了巴蜀地区的民俗风情，形成独具一格的世俗化和生活化的石刻艺术。现存2850处，是中国石窟艺术第三次，也是最后一次的巅峰绝唱。本片以中国石窟中后期最精彩的篇章——巴蜀石窟为拍摄对象，从不同的视角呈现隐藏在巴山蜀水之间的丰富的石窟造像和人物故事。。迈克尔坚信自己曾经在沙漠中得到神明的启示，但他的邻居都不以为然，甚至把他当成镇上的傻瓜。某天夜里，得知童年玩伴在一处偏僻的村庄里卷入事端，迈克尔决定赤足穿越沙漠，以期求得神迹，拯救自己的朋友。。
