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）。貌不惊人的女孩李静花（徐雨 饰）远离家乡，来到位于繁华都会的美术学院求学。她独自租住一套公寓，开始了浪漫未知的大学生活。在这里她遇到心仪的前辈敬民，无奈对方心有所属，根本不将其放在眼里。静花初到公寓时拾到一张神秘符箓，她胆大妄为，照着符箓上的图案雕刻图腾，却没留意到诡异事件接连发生。先是敬民意外热情地向她靠近，进而目击前辈背着一个恐怖女人，而后与一名赤脚女子同乘电梯，看见对方重复敲打隔壁房门。在上学期间，她姐识了能与灵界沟通的宋尚珠。 诡异事件愈演愈烈，在走投无路之际，尚珠是唯一能够施以援手的人……。一位怀孕的母亲（瑞秋）和丈夫（马特）在农村遭遇车祸，一位农民和他的妻子为他们提供了住所吗，瑞秋很快意识到农民的孩子实际上是偷来的，就在他们试图逃离农场的时候，瑞秋却即将分娩....。
