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）。《我的军中情人》过去十年后，约西（欧哈德·诺勒 Ohad Knoller 饰）成为了心脏科医生，每天用工作麻醉自己，过着离群寡居的生活，念念不忘十年前的挚爱。一次偶然机会下，他邂逅了一位神秘女性，而她竟然是揭开过去伤疤的关键人物。约西决定南下海边散 心，途中遇到一群年轻的以色列新兵。自信开放的同志兵哥汤姆（奥兹·泽哈维 Oz Zehavi 饰）让约西开始重新注视那个他从未想过的同志世界，他发现原来自己依然渴望一份真诚的爱情...... 以色列大导演伊藤·福克斯用《我的军中情人》讲述刻骨铭心的军中禁恋，然而当死去的成为浪漫传奇后，留下来的却要独自面对内心空洞。续集启用原班人马再次呈献一段真挚情感。本片入围2012年美国翠贝卡影展最佳剧情片。。
