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）。北京南城的一处小四合院，住着裱画世家裴大爷一家。大儿子世平、孙女苗苗与老三世君以及裴大爷的宝贝女儿世鹃三代同堂。当了房地产公司老板的二子世安搬进了自购的别墅。小南房里住着与裴大爷发小的曾二爷及其妻刘菜花。恰逢裴大爷生日，世鹃与刘菜花商议给裴大爷介绍对象，由于事先没有征得他的同意，裴大爷赌气地溜出大院与自己交往多年的“老情人”祝小宛相聚，急得一家人上窜下跳的寻找。前来相亲的田老师见状尴尬地告辞。 老大裴世平下岗在家，多方找寻工作未果。招聘会上一次偶然的机会他被某出版社编辑部录用，兴奋之余的他将好消息告诉老婆杜夏莲。然而好景不长，新单位工作了不足两个星期风云突变，编辑部被工商局查封，原来编辑部的领导是一群文化骗子。裴世平没了工作不说，还倒赔进两千块钱。本来已生活拮据的他，犹如雪上加霜。恰在此时，上大学的女儿苗苗，连续两周未在学校上课...。刘祥东外出打工，五年后成为董事长。得知烈德村大白菜滞销，决定将其全部收购，却遭质疑嘲讽；老婆不但坐着情敌的车来接他，还说收购白菜都是情敌的功劳；随着刘祥东真实身份逐渐揭开，先后打脸众人。最终烈德村在刘祥东的带领下发展成为了人人羡慕的富贵村。。
