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）。死国灾难方休，蛰伏已久的集境终於有所动作，在烨世兵权、千叶传奇接连策划之下，苦境中原连番受创，适逢一页书入魔、素还真陷劫、正道倾颓之刻，末世圣传、云鼓雷峰接连浮上台面，在多方布计与势力竞逐之下，破军府终告败亡，宿贤卿的真正目的，也顺势浮上台面——灭神号天穷，魔绝天棺所封之邪，即将牵引千古恩仇。 四魌恩仇起风云，剑之初、戢武王重重纠葛，牵动慈光之塔与杀戮碎岛的过往之谜，在无衣师尹精心策划之下，碎岛王权崩解，其後趋身步入中原。同一时间，戢武王率军入苦境，玄舸穿空破境而来，即将再掀波澜，而剑之初与魔王子的最终对决，亦将写下最激烈的终章。 天苍灵泉陷落之处，神秘的天阎魔城静静矗立，以末世圣传为起点，在慕容情、愁未央先後前往、登道岸任云踪介入之下，渐渐揭露其神秘面纱，号天穷与帝如来的长久对立，开始牵引出一则更为久远的传说。 圣魔争斗，亘古传今，禁断神话，末法战...。
